Ok, I understand. I think it works for me because I'm upgrading from
a previous tex.
I've filed a new grave bug for this. It's a completely unrelated
installation problem from the original report. Any followup to this
bug, please put on bug 265078.
I'm trying to get clarity from the tetex maintainers what is the best
course of action. They are telling me that they will supply .fmt
files in the next tetex. Alternatively, I could check for the .efmt
files, or remove the check completely. Alternatively, I could switch
to etex, then switch back when tex becomes etex.
For my information, can you run this command as root in your pbuilder
and send the output to this bug?
fmtutil --cnffile /etc/texmf/fmt.d/40jadetex.cnf --byfmt jadetex
I don't want to hasily change from tex to etex, because jadetex is
pretty fragile, and we have to deal with pool size and other
configuration issues. OTOH, I don't rule out doing that...
