I have recently installed Fink 0.8, which initially worked fine. I then

Now my tex installation is broken, as latex has been replaced by etex,
which is not mature yet.
Strange, seems to be mature enough for everyone else.
When using latex, it now runs as "pdftex" and
produces a pdf file. All switches such as -format, -output-format etc.
have been unsuccessful in trying to make etex produce a dvi file.
How can I fix this?
pdflatex is perfectly capable of producing dvi files and does so by
default. My guess is that you have some old configuration either in your
private tex directories or in /sw/var/lib/texmf/ that override or
perturb the configuration of the new tex installation. I have seen this
on some systems. There is no very easy way out, the simplest perhaps
being to force-remove all tex packages, move your ~/Library/texmf and
~/.texmf-{var,config} directories out of the way, make sure that
/sw/var/lib/texmf is empty, and then reinstall the tex packages. I don't
know, however, how this works with ptex, if this is what you are using.
