Well, then tcfmgr was there, but not functional. Possibly this is a
lack of robustness combined with Bug#612924. Another theory is that
maybe luatex was caught at the wrong point in the migration between
the lenny texlive-base-bin and the squeeze texlive-base, which seems
to contain the former contents of texlive-base. In that case, luatex
would have to check not only that texlive-base (any version) is
installed, but something along the lines of:
- texlive-base-bin & texlive-base lenny version installed &
configured (or any version between lenny and whichever that did the
switchover)
OR
- textlive-base squeeze version installed & configured (or any
version between squeeze and the older version that did the switchover)
Here is an abstract from dpkg.log:
