Ah, indeed, installing tetex-src (and fixing my $PATH to include the 
appropriate tetex directory) addresses this problem.  So is this bug 
(and the other bug regarding the bogus #! line at the top of 
/usr/bin/plastex) being tracked somewhere?

Thanks, I think I had implemented this workaround a long time ago.  I 
had to uninstall all of my contrib packages to get the system into a 
sane state (because of the entire dependency), and I never bothered to 
re-install it correctly.

Will this migration from pending to contrib coincide with the next 
OpenSolaris release?

Thanks,
