I did have xmltex 1.9-11.1, and purging and reinstalling it fixed the
problem.  (tetex-bin conflicts with xmltex <= 1.9-10, so I couldn't have
an older xmltex without forcing it.)

Is this a problem with the configuration of xmltex after upgrade, but
not after new install?  Should I reassign the bug to xmltex?

Thanks much for your help!
