As far as I understood it, debian-reference does not show an error, so
there's not much sense in looking at it. With hackdi.sgml, I do get an
error, but since *I* do have my pdfelatex.efmt in /var/lib/texmf/web2c,
it compiles fine until it gets to a LaTeX error (too deeply
nested). Whether this has anything to do with the eTeX transition I do
not know. But for sure it is a different issue.
Also, there is no checking or building of a format file in hackdi's
Makefile. For sure the format generation in tetex-bin's postinst failed,
which gave the error message you reported; once it does not fail, one
gets to the next error.
So the real question is: Why did the format generation of tetex-bin
fail?
- Did you not get an error message from tetex-bin's postinst?
- What does "ls /var/lib/texmf/web2c" give?
- If there's no pdfelatex.efmt, is there a pdfelatex.log? If yes, please
save it away, and in any case run
dpkg-reconfigure tetex-bin (answering all debconf questions as you did
before, if you please). Fredrik, are you still listening? It would be
great if you could do the same.
