Package: tex-common Version: 6.07 I'll spare you the full logs, the end seems to make things quite clear:
fmtutil [INFO]: /var/lib/texmf/web2c/luatex/dviluatex.fmt installed. fmtutil [WARNING]: inifile xmltex.ini for xmltex/pdftex not found. fmtutil [WARNING]: inifile jadetex.ini for jadetex/pdftex not found. fmtutil [WARNING]: inifile pdfjadetex.ini for pdfjadetex/pdftex not found. fmtutil [WARNING]: inifile pdfxmltex.ini for pdfxmltex/pdftex not found. fmtutil [INFO]: Disabled formats: 3 fmtutil [INFO]: Successfully rebuilt formats: 15 fmtutil [INFO]: Failed to build: 4 (pdftex/xmltex pdftex/jadetex pdftex/pdfjadetex pdftex/pdfxmltex) fmtutil [INFO]: Total formats: 22 fmtutil [INFO]: exiting with status 4 This box is mostly-stretch with a number of packages from buster, so it may just be some dependency missing after the move of those packages into texlive-htmlxml. I have texlive-htmlxml 2017.20170808-1 from stretch here. If it is what tex-common dislikes, it probably needs a Conflicts declaration ?
