The comment reveals that \maketitle was tinkered with in the newest version, which is what the new error output points to as problematic. > I won't do a roll back.

It’s how the Debian release would be fixed to function for everyone. Maybe I’m missing something but I thought the point of version control and the purpose of Debian stable targeting specific versions? This aspect of the Debian effort is a bit murky. It’s strange that the Debian policy manual and developers’ reference guide do not cover a rollback procedure when a particular version turns out to be a disaster. Though I suppose whatever would be prescribed, TeXlive is a beast that would need an exceptional approach anyway. Indeed I can hack around the problem to fix it for myself. I appreciate the tip about LOCALTEMXMF. TIL there is a TeXlive pkg manager (tlmgr), so I probably need to look into how that works.
