Serious problem after tetex-security update

2004-11-26 Thread Andreas Goesele
Hi!

After the last security update with libkpathsea3 and tetex-bin my
LaTeX installation doesn't work any more. When I try to compile a
LaTeX file I get:

I can't find the format file `latex.fmt'!

What can I do to get a working LaTeX installation back? I urgently
need it!

Thanks a lot in advance!

apt-get -f install

apt-get update

apt-get dist-upgrade  (if you messed up sources.list is good sometimes)

dpkg-reconfigure tetex-bin

I found the solution. For some (unknown) reason the softlink from
/usr/share/texmf/web2c to /var/lib/texmf/web2c wasn't created. I added
it by hand and everything works again.

Submit a bug report.  I may have been an oversight on the
