Though this probably would solve his problems, this should not
be neccecary. The debian tetex-* pacakges _should_ do this all
automatically. 
Installing tetex-bin runs /usr/bin/texconfig, wich should install
the latex.fmt file.

So, I'd advice Britton to re-install tetex-bin (and maybe tetex-base too).
That should solve his problems.
