I have looked into the makefile, and although I don't understand it completely, the approach to using LaTeX seems fundamentally flawed. Instead of building local formats, it would have been better to ask us teTeX maintainers to enable those languages. Now if it turns out that you still use languages that are not enabled or even existent in tetex in sid, the mechanisms for local formats described in the Debian TeX Policy Draft should be used - please look at the tex-common package. Second, it doesn't make sense to build the formats twice, once by calling an engine with -ini directly, and a second time using fmtutil. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ.
