Package: tetex-bin
Version: 2.0.2-17
Severity: important
Hello,
Since the last (I think) update of the tetex packages I'm not anymore able to
compile latex files using latex. It seems to me that latex.efmt cannot be
generated. Each time I trie to compile a .tex I get an output similar to the
one reproduced below.
Here are the efmt that I have:
% ls /var/lib/texmf/web2c/*.efmt
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/cont-en.efmt /var/lib/texmf/web2c/etex.efmt /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdfelatex.efmt
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/elatex.efmt /var/lib/texmf/web2c/mptopdf.efmt /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdfetex.efmt
So I am still able to compile files using elatex but not latex (I don't really
know the difference between them).
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Samuel.

Ok. I have no reason not to want my fmtutil.cnf be managed by debconf. I
must have answered no to that a long time ago (why?) and I did not have
any problem since then. I dpkg-reconfigured the package and now
everything is fine. Therefore I close this bug.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Samuel.
