Another possibility is it went away because I upgraded jadetex at the
same time. The log had some comments about problems with TeX:
jadetex (3.12-5) unstable; urgency=medium
* postinst:
- eliminate "running 'fmtutil --all' to rebuild existing TeX", it
should never happen and it's just slowing down the failure case
- cosmetic changes
- when producing our own memory dumps, use 'fmtutil --cnffile to our
specific file in /etc/texmf/fmt.d, since user may have the debconf
question tetex-bin/fmtutil turned off
closes: #183285, #196151, #196027
NB: last two bugs filed against tetex-bin; 'grr' to the tetex
maintainers for making this change without giving me any heads
up
(Among other changes in jadetex).
