TeX is a really complex sytem and I don't understand even a fraction of it. I do know that the potato packages (maybe woody now, I don't remember if they changed at all) worked on my system. Try removing it (apt-get remove --purge tetex-bin) and then re-downloading it and installing it. You may need to force the removal (--force I think). You could also try finding which package has that file that is missing and install it just to have the file, or simply create the file so that the error goes away (or edit the script as Joost suggested). -D
