This message is not too helpful, as /var/lib/texmf/web2c contains lots of
files. However, it seems that "lambda.log" is the relevant logfile.

I have no idea what happens here.

-- Package-specific info:
Please read and follow the instructions in the first lines below
the text: "-- Package-specific info:".
Thank you.

Press ENTER to continue
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
