Hi, i was bitten by the same issue.
Analyzing the various /tmp/fmtutil.* files created during installation trials, i stumbled over the line stating: ! I can't find file `syst-tex.mkii'. Checking with apt-file, syst-tex.mkii appeared to be contained in two packages, namely 'context' and 'texlive-latex-base'. Apparently there was a change, as this file is no longer part of texlive-latex-base, but only contained in context, which was not installed before on my systems. After adding the context package, all remaining packages configured just fine. Looks as if we now also require to have context installed. Regards, Paul -- http://wmlive.rumbero.org
