----------
Looking at /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/hitex/base/hiplainpage.tex &
diffing it with the
version at CTAN, it seems that the latter spells the word in question as
“preferred”.
If I edit prefered -> preferred in the Debian file, the install completes
successfully.
cheers,
Phil

This happened due to an incompatibility between old texlive-extra and
new texlive-bin. Unfortunately I forgot to tie them together before
upload to unstable, it was doe in texlive-bin -4 .
texlive-extra entered testing last night, so all should be set right now.
