Hi Paul, thanks for reporting this problem. For whatever reason it didn't reach our mailing list. I only saw it right now in the web interface. We had that recently with another bugreport. Maybe these messages are simply to large for the mailing list software?
Anyway, concerning your bug report. You get the error message: This is a summary of all `failed' messages and warnings: `tex -ini -jobname=jadetex -progname=jadetex &latex jadetex.ini' failed The error message from tetex.postinst.XXhnN5lJ is: This is TeX, Version 3.141592 (Web2C 7.5.4) (INITEX) ---! /var/lib/texmf/web2c/latex.fmt was written by pdfetex (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied) Here it is tried to build the jadetex format with the TeX engine. Problem is, that it uses the LaTeX format, which was build with the pdfetex engine. What files do you have in '/etc/texmf/fmt.d/'? What's the content of '/etc/texmf/fmt.d/40jadetex.cnf'? My guess is, that at some point you refused to update the configuration files for jadetex, because current jadetex packages build all their formats with (pdf)etex. cheerio ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
