I tried to install amarok, which apparently wanted to upgrade my tetex

So now I have followed all the tips given by fink to update my
tetex-base and tetex-texmf installations. It said to update tetex-texmf
then install tetex-base. Well, after running fink selfupdate, trying to
upgrade the packages, I seem to have recovered my tetex installation
(thank God). Yet, when running latex (not pdflatex) on the file it no
longer compiles to make a dvi file, but instead a pdf file. Is this the
default behavior now? Is it possible not to have latex run pdflatex
somehow?
The default behavior should still be to create dvi output. Are you sure
you don't use a package that sets \pdfoutput=1 somewhere? Things can
also go wrong during format creation. Have a look at the log file
~/.texmf-var/web2c/latex.log. It should show lines like
***latex.ini
(/sw/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/config/latex.ini
(/sw/share/texmf-dist/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex)
In /sw/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/config/latex.ini you find the code
\ifx\pdfoutput\undefined
\else
\ifx\pdfoutput\relax
\else
\input pdftexconfig
\pdfoutput=0
\fi
\fi
This sets the default output to dvi, and this is hardcoded in your
latex.fmt.
