Please read and follow the instructions in the first lines below

Thank you.
-----------------------------------------
I get the same message when trying to upgrade to the current version of
tetex-bin and tetex-extra in Sid, which I've been following for some
time without problems.
I've looked throught the correspondence about this bug but remain
somewhat confused about the fix, if any. Are we suppose to purge
tetex-bin and tetex-extra and reinstall?
When attempting to configure tetex-bin, I get:

If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries
(latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong
output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the
error in your report. Don't forget to also include minimal examples of
other files that are needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps
to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures!
If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of
output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem),
you can probably minimize it further. Instructions on how to do that
can be found at
http://www.latex-einfuehrung.de/mini-en.html (english)
or
