Did you use Palatino (or Times or Helvetica)?

tx8r.enc seemed to be used by these fonts but the current
teTeX did not support these fonts.  Please see

/usr/share/doc/texmf/fonts/txfonts/README.teTeX
/usr/share/doc/texmf/fonts/pxfonts/README.teTeX

And we Debian tetex maintainers do not add extra
stuffs to the upstream teTeX basically (except security
issue etc.).

Sorry but please add necessary files under

/usr/local/share/texmf

and run 'mktexlsr' then you can use pxfonts as before.

Thanks for your report.

Best regards,			2002/12/6
