Package: tetex-bin Version: 2.0.2-31 Severity: important In order to update my pacage scalable-cyrfonts-tex for teTeX 3 I installed the version from experimental. However tetex-extra is missing there so later I downgraded my packages to the version from etch and sid. When I tried to use latex I got:
$ latex test.tex This is e-TeX, Version 3.14159-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.5) (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied) I don't use latex very often and I don't know whether this was caused by installing the packages from experimental. I purged the packages tetex-bin, tetex-base and tetex-extra and then reinstalled them but the situation didn't improve. Finally I found that the latex is a symlink to etex, I changed it by hands to point to tex and now my latex works. Even if the probem was caused by installing experimental packages, purging tetex-* packages had to fix the problem. Thats why I am reporting the bug against the versions from etch and sid.
