Evidently you (or something else) removed /etc/texmf/dvips/config.ps at
some point, as it's part of the tetex-base package. It is marked as a
conffile, and dpkg considers "missing" to be a valid state for a
conffile and won't reinstate it unless you tell it to. Reinstall the
package using the --force-confmiss flag to dpkg and you'll get it back.
