Please check if your system has the following structure;

civic:~$ ls -ld /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           18 2003-09-01 21:15 /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config -> /etc/texmf/dvipdfm/
civic:~$ ls /etc/texmf/dvipdfm/config
/etc/texmf/dvipdfm/config

and if /etc/texmf/dvipdfm/config doesn't exist, then
please install tetex-base with

dpkg -i --force-confmiss tetex-base_2.0.2-4.2.deb

if only symlink is lost then it will be enough to do

cd /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm
ln -s /etc/texmf/dvipdfm config

Did you upgrade from 2.0.2-4.2 to 4.3 and 
2.0.2-4.2 had been working?  If so then this would
be an accident and not a bug.

If you upgraded from rather older version (e.g. woody version)
to 2.0.2-4.3 then it could be a bug, but I can't believe it.

BTW, I'd like to know the followings;
(if you remembered them)

did you see debconf note which asked you hyphenation
patterns to load?

if so then what was the default selection?  Was it
"no selection", or "french and ngerman" or something 
else?

If installation process hadn't gone into this stage
yet then please check the result when you succeed
to install tetex-bin.

Thanks in advance,		2003-9-2(Tue)
