Bug#425106: texlive-pdfetex: upgrade fails, can't find /usr/bin/etex?
Greetings, Hm, is the right fmtutil.cnf used? kpsewhich --format='web2c files' fmtutil.cnf run as root (or however you do the upgrade) should output /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf % su # kpsewhich --format='web2c files' fmtutil.cnf /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf # wc /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf 106 551 3673 /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf # grep -v \# /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf tex tex - tex.ini pdftex pdfetex - -translate-file=cp227.tcx *pdftex.ini mf mf - -translate-file=cp227.tcx mf.ini etexpdfetex language.def-translate-file=cp227.tcx *etex.ini pdfetex pdfetex language.def-translate-file=cp227.tcx *pdfetex.ini hmm. uh-oh.

Yes. It is safer to put your stuff into TEXMFHOME = ~/texmf, a normal texmf tree. Furthermore, if you set some env variable, add a final : TEXINPUTS=.:/hom.: the extra colon at the end instructs kpathsea to add the default search patches, too.

Package: texlive-pdfetex Version: 2005.dfsg.2-12 Severity: normal *** Please type your report below this line *** Hi, this is probably a duplicate but I have no idea how to divine the root cause. Bugs that look similar are #419893 and #421969. I was doing a regular apt-get update; apt-get upgrade and got stuck over the package 'tipa'. I've tried removing it and get clobbered by texlive-pdfetex trying to configure itself, so I'm filing here. Feel free to reassign/merge etc. My goal in filing is to request a little assistance untangling the mess and to let you know of possible problems in other formerly-depending-on-tetex packages. The failure takes this form: # apt-get --purge remove tipa Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree...

The system has been in this state since 2007-05-10. I tried using aptitude to resolve the dependencies, but no luck. I waited a week or so trying to upgrade every other day or so, in hopes things would sort themselves out but it appears this isn't affecting many other people. For what it's worth the other packages that currently report dependency problems relating to this are: texlive-pdfetex texlive-latex-base latex-beamer texlive-latex-recommended prosper Presumably none of this is news to you.
