... has nothing to do with the TeX e-TeX migration. Until now I'm not
really sure, about what happened here, cause after unpack a file was
missing, which is part of tetex-bin. The following was a typo in
tetex-base -- unrelated to the migration.

... has nothing to do with the TeX e-TeX migration. It might be the
other migration: /usr/share/texmf/web2c it not more an ln -s into
/var, but rather an own dir. Doesn't break the autobuilders, as they
assume the default answers and not changed config files.

Bug is normal. The described file doesn't compile on Knuth TeX
either. No gain if you switch back. The bug is here, that the error
behaviour of e-TeX is wrong.

Wouldn't have happened, if the user would have taken the default
answer. Doesn't break the auto builders.
