Hello Norbert,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
In fact, running dpkg-reconfigure libpaper1, I get the "system defaults paper size" selection menu, to which I select a4.
I do not get the extra tl-paper output after this. Perhaps this is a side-effect to my unconfigured texlive-base installation.
Running the script you gave me, I get:
=== xdvi ===
Can't use string ("2") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/bin/tl-paper line 112.
=== pdftex ===
Can't use string ("2") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/bin/tl-paper line 112.
=== dvips ===
Can't use string ("2") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/bin/tl-paper line 112.
=== dvipdfmx ===
Can't use string ("2") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/bin/tl-paper line 112.
=== context ===
Can't use string ("2") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/bin/tl-paper line 112.
There is currently no urgency with getting this figured out quickly - texlive-base and all the needed components
work perfectly fine in my chroot environment. It's just very odd, and I'm not sure what is broken on my system.
Kind regards.
