I just ran an old article through latex again and the index generation
still worked. This is with texlive 2007-3 on Sid (a new system which was
installed 6 weeks ago and therefore never had tetex on it).
I have not used makeindex for a long time therefore I cannot tell you
anything about its behavior under texlive 2005.dfsg.3-1.
I would try to start with something simple:
--------------------8<--------------------
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\makeindex
\begin{document}
word 1 \index{word 1}
\clearpage
word 2a \index{word 2!a}
\clearpage
word 2b \index{word 2!b}
\clearpage
word 3 (a and b) \index{word 3!a|(}\index{word 3!b|(}
\printindex
\end{document}
-------------------->8--------------------
What happens when you try to process this?
