Strange. What does "dpkg -S aleph" and "dpkg -l aleph" tell you?

teTeX-bin 2.0.2 does not contain the aleph program. I'm pretty sure
you see the program aleph from the package aleph. There still remains
the question why tetex-extra tries to build a format for it. Did you
have ever teTeX 3.0 installed and /etc/texmf/fmt.d/01tetex.cnf is
still on your system?
