I think you are mistaken, and something went wrong :-( ken@plexi ~ $ls -l $(which pdflatex) lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Jun 5 02:52 /opt/texlive/2017/bin/x86_64-linux/pdflatex -> pdftex Perhaps soemthing went wrong when you ran make texlinks (or maybe it did not run because of an earlier error). Please note that you should NOT run it twice (on the same install), as the book says, it WILL trash the symlinks. And yes, I agree that most texlive users (certainly, everyone who uses latex) expect that link to exist. Using pdflatex is one of the things I test on a new version / new install / new binary. ĸen -- I live in a city. I know sparrows from starlings.
