Damned Ubuntu Users or damned Ubuntu, is it soooooo hard to specify the
VERSION to which your bug report belongs.

That way it is completely useless.

Taking a look at the file I found:
 This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.5-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5) (INITEX)
so it seems you are using TeX Live 2005.

But this still doesn't help me, since the log file has the following
error:
! I can't find file `etex.src'.
l.3 \input etex.src

Well, there was a time when there was a bug like this, but it is ages
ago.

So I don't care for this anymore.

Ah, last thing: Your problem is COMPLETELY unrelated to the original bug
report!!!!

Best wishes

Norbert
