That probably means that on dkms1301, postinstall hasn't succeeded; web2c is where the format files are generated. It would be good if setup would at least inform [you] about that. > The new packages are the 2.0.2-1 ones, right? And tetex-bin-2.0.2-1 > contains the symlink? Yes, we've been busy. > Hmmm...

Parts of postinstall may fail if it's not there, but I'm not sure. >> * If you're updating tetex from an earlier version, you may need to >> uninstall and then reinstall cygutils >> >> * Reinstall tetex-base (or run >> /etc/postinstall/post-texmf.sh[.done]) > > Looking at the script I can't seem to find where it creates the symlink. > Is this done via one of the texconfig calls?

Please try an upgrade, and watch if the format files get created during postinstall. Otherwise, you can also try running bash -x /etc/postinstall/post-texmf.sh[.done] (or the texconfig commands therein) and see what happens.
