Bug#291545: tetex-bin: initex fails to generate some etmf files
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 2.0.2-25
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi!
After upgrading tetex-bin, it stopped working. On reinstalling, this is
what I get:
----------------------------------------------------
marga@fobos:~$ LANG=en_US sudo apt-get install --reinstall tetex-bin

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

If I run these commands manually, this is what I get:

If you really absolutely need more capacity,
you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.
Here is how much of TeX's memory you used:
3024 strings out of 13683
33421 string characters out of 101705
44435 words of memory out of 263001
3063 multiletter control sequences out of 10000+0
3640 words of font info for 14 fonts, out of 400000 for 1000
135 hyphenation exceptions out of 1000
20i,0n,20p,219b,340s stack positions out of 300i,100n,500p,50000b,4000s
No pages of output.
----------------------------------------------------
I don't know which wizard to ask. dpkg-reconfigure is not working, because the
package is not fully installed. And I don't know which file to edit, or if I
actually have to edit a file to fix this.
This renders the package completely unusable, and I can't find a fix for it.
