Okay, this did the trick. When I reinstalled though, I didn't get a warning
about a current /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf file. It just moved the old one to
/etc/texmf/texmf.cnf.dpkg-old and stuck the new one in there without
consulting me.
Well, at least it works now. Thanks for the help. You guys are another
