Bug#184875: tetex-bin: dvips -Ppdf won't work at all

["Silas S. Brown" <ssb22@cam.ac.uk>]

Hi,

Yes I do have tetex-extra -

ssb22:~$ dpkg -l tetex*
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)

ii  tetex-doc      1.0.2+20011202 teTeX documentation

un  tetex-lib      <none>         (no description available)
un  tetex-nonfree  <none>         (no description available)

and I'm sorry that I can't post the exact error message
because in my desperation I worked around the problem by
copying the /usr/share/texmf filestructure from another
machine which was running Debian testing, and also running
dvips with -D600 which seemed to help for some reason.
