Hi M,
I have been not really following the total discussion, but I have an
observation: sometimes there are programs that can be called more than
one way and that the way they are called affect how they works.
E.g. grep is a program and egrep is a shell script that calls grep with
specific options.
Maybe $TEX_PROGRAM_1 and $TEX_PROGRAM_2 are just calling
$ACTUAL_TEX_PROGRAM with different options?
as for reconfiguring a package:
dpkg-reconfigure -plow $PKGNAME
will reconfigure a package with the most questions asked
dpkg-reconfigure -phigh $PKGNAME
will reconfigure a package with the least questions asked
cheers,
Kev
