You are probably using tetex-bin_3.0-6.0, the file was called
00tetex.cnf previously.

This looks as it should (indicating that lambda has the right entry in
00tetex.cnf).

This means that dpkg thinks that lambda.ini is in
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/config/, but it isn't.  Of course we don't do
anything with these files in our scripts, so either you (or something on
your system) has removed it, or there is a bug in dpkg.  Did you perhaps
interrupt apt or dpkg during installation?
