I have, in some cases.

DVI file can't be opened. This is most probably a buggy document (or stylefile) that has a wrong test for pdf output, and produces pdf instead of dvi if the TeX engine understands \pdfoutput, even if it has carefully been set to 0. > - ctie > Unmet build dependencies: libkpathsea-dev (>= 2.0.2-1) Errors like that are delibarate - the library has changed considerably, and is now called libkpathsea4-dev in order to force maintainers to really test their packages. > - dvipdfmx: does not make it's documentation? > - freetype1: Does not generate documentation? This could point to the same pdf-instead-of-dvi problem, this time as intermediate files, together with a broken build system that doesn't notice that it failed... > Some have the combination of: > ** menu entry without previous node: License (l. 98) > ** node_prev `Top' for `License' not found > ** `Distrib' doesn't appear in menus > (am-utils, esh, fdutils) That's most probably just a bug in the texinfo sources, nothing that has been triggered by the version change of teTeX. > > Should I worry about messages like: > Underfull \hbox (badness 2368) > Overfull \hbox (21.3942pt too wide) Not at all - that's just a warning about bad line breaking, and for sure not dependent on the version. > LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `OMS/cmtt/m/n' undefined Most probably irrelevant and not version-dependent > LaTeX Warning: Reference `sec-cblash' on page 7 undefined on input line 452.
