Ok, I understand. I think it works for me because I'm upgrading from
a previous tex.

I've filed a new grave bug for this. It's a completely unrelated
installation problem from the original report. Any followup to this
bug, please put on bug 265078.

I'm trying to get clarity from the tetex maintainers what is the best
course of action. They are telling me that they will supply .fmt
files in the next tetex. Alternatively, I could check for the .efmt
files, or remove the check completely. Alternatively, I could switch
to etex, then switch back when tex becomes etex.

For my information, can you run this command as root in your pbuilder
and send the output to this bug?

fmtutil --cnffile /etc/texmf/fmt.d/40jadetex.cnf --byfmt jadetex

I don't want to hasily change from tex to etex, because jadetex is
pretty fragile, and we have to deal with pool size and other
configuration issues. OTOH, I don't rule out doing that...

I have no idea about TeX internalsand packaging, but if this
sounds convincing, from an outsider'spoint of view:

If this is correct and just dropping the test works, it sure sounds
like the best solution, because it is
a) minimal
b) can be applied immediately, without waiting for a fixed tetex
c) will continue to work after tetex is fixed.

For my information, can you run this command as root in your pbuilder
and send the output to this bug?

fmtutil --cnffile /etc/texmf/fmt.d/40jadetex.cnf --byfmt jadetex

(This loops infinitely as user, ;-)

I get identical output with 3.13-1 and -2 installed (but of course unconfigured), see attachment.

Hmm, that is big fat error, so it looks like simply dropping the test
is not enough.
thanks, cu andreas

I've just verified that tetex-bin 2.0.2-18[1] seems[2] to fix this issue, jadetex is indeed installable with this version of tetex.

Therefore the only thing missing to declare this fixed is to make
jadetex conflict with tetex-bin (= 2.0.2-17).

PS: How about merging these three identical bug-reports?

[1] in incoming:
* Don't revert the TeX - e-TeX migration but build the formats latex.fmt
and pdflatex.fmt too, as they are needed in rare cases. [kohda]
(Closes: #263296, #264043)

[2] I've installed and configured it, and built gnobog, which uses docbook-utils.
