Ok. Not too Mickey Mouse-isch :-)

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.

Yes, we've been busy.

Parts of postinstall may fail if it's not there, but I'm not sure.

Yes.

You obviously need more than that. 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.
