I can't seem to get tetex-base to install. It builds fine, but always fails in the PostInstScript at the line "fmtutil --all" with the error "fmtutil: format directory `/sw/var/lib/texmf/web2c' does not exist." None of the tetex packages seem to create this directory. If I manually create the web2c directory, tetex will install, but generates the following warnings:

Also a bunch of files are created in the /sw/var/lib/texmf/web2c directory which aren't in any deb files and thus aren't removed if the package is removed. I know nothing about the internals of tetex and haven't been able to troubleshoot any further.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
