There is no package called "tetex". But just installing tetex-extra
should give you all you need. (Or rather, all teTex provides, minus the
documentation in tetex-doc).

This is a known bug, #184875. It is fixed upstream, and I wonder why we
didn't fix it in Debian. To fix it locally, add the following stanza to
/etc/texmf/modes.mf:
% Reported by Silas Brown, 4 April 2003, via Debian bug 184875.
% {\tt dvips -Ppdf} wants 8000$\,$dpi fonts, so define a mode for that.
mode_def dpdfezzz = %\[ dvips -Ppdf (8000dpi)
mode_param (pixels_per_inch, 2400);
mode_param (blacker, 0);
mode_param (fillin, 0);
mode_param (o_correction, 1);
mode_common_setup_;
enddef;
If you put it directly after the "mode_def dover =" stanza, separated by
empty lines before and aft, dpkg will keep quiet once you upgrade to our
fixed version.

This seems to be a different problem, but I am not sure. Could you
provide a minimal example file that reproduces the error? And don't
hesitate to open a bug on this, maybe the automatically included
information gives some hints.
