latex "stymied"
[Please CC, as I'm not on the list.]
I apologize is this has been already discussed. I briefly looked
through the list archives and didn't see anything about it. Also, I
don't know much about the internals of [la]tex or web, so I hope this
isn't a silly question.
When I tried to run latex today, it died saying:
Running `LaTeX' on `hw8' with ``latex '\nonstopmode\input{hw8.tex}'''
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.7)
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)
LaTeX exited abnormally with code 1 at Wed Apr 10 13:15:41
After some searching on google, I came to understand that I need to
regerneate my format files. So I ran
dpkg-reconfigure tetex-bin
which gives me:

Fixing permissions of ls-R files ...
mode of `/var/lib/texmf/ls-R' changed to 0644 (rw-r--r--)
mode of `/var/spool/texmf/ls-R' changed to 0644 (rw-r--r--)
If you want to change the default settings,
use /usr/bin/texconfig to configure teTeX.
I have attached the tmp file log as well as
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/latex.log
I also tried reconfiguring tetex-base, which gave the same results. Any
suggestions?
I'm running woody on an i386. The only interesting thing about my setup
is that /usr/local is a read-only network mount of some programs, none
of which have changed recently and none of which should interfere with
tex's configuration. I have been using latex for a while and when I run
it now on some of my old files, it dies in the same way. I have auctex,
tetex-base, tetex-bin, tetex-doc, tetex-extra installed.
