These files were part of tetex-bin in *oldstable*, while even in stable they are in tex-common. On the other hand, your system claims to be Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') That sounds as if you didn't properly dist-upgrade somehow long ago. > Looks OK, did it work? No: That's expected, since tetex-bin is now just an empty transitional package. > It looks like 'tetex-bin' is missing some files, or it used to have them > and they're now in some other package. What package has those config files? tex-common, in etch, lenny, sid. The problem with --force-confmiss is that those files are under ucf control, not dpkg control, and ucf doesn't understand --force-confmiss. In other days, I'd had been able to give you a solution at once, but currently I am so out of these ucf things that I cannot - and I must leave now, so I'm sending this e-mail anyway.
