I felt a bit foolish when I read this so I checked to see what version I had:
Bash$ dpkg --list latex2html
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Description
+++-===============-==============-============================================
ii latex2html 98.1p1-5 LaTeX to HTML translator.
I then looked in the directory, /usr/lib/texmf/latex/latex2html
Bash$ ll
total 22
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Aug 1 00:28 foilhtml.cfg -> /etc/foilhtml.cfg
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11310 Jun 5 04:57 foilhtml.sty
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1481 Feb 25 08:03 hthtml.sty
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4797 Feb 25 08:03 ldump.sty
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2337 Feb 25 08:03 verbatimfiles.sty
and I then re-installed latex2html_98.1p1-5.deb and looked again:
Bash$ ll
total 75
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Aug 10 22:11 foilhtml.cfg -> /etc/foilhtml.cfg
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11310 Jun 5 04:57 foilhtml.sty
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2474 Feb 25 08:03 frames.sty
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 815 Feb 25 08:03 heqn.sty

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 31749 Mar 6 07:49 html.sty
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 984 Feb 25 08:03 htmllist.sty

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2337 Feb 25 08:03 verbatimfiles.sty
and there they were !!

I have no explanation for why this might have occured. As far as I could tell the
upgraded from 1.3.1 to Debian 2.0 went smoothly though I must admit I did appear
to be a bit pushed for diskspace as the installation was going along, and had to
hastily clear some rubbish off the disk while the upgrade was occuring...
Could this be a reason for my missing files ?
Debian does not appear to warn about disk space necessary when installing
packages anymore ( as it used to) at least as far as I could tell...
Am I wrong ?
thanks
Cormac
