What are you doing? The correct format for latex is dumped by pdfetex.
This is the NEW behaviour since teTeX 3.0 and I'll gona not changed that :)
Read in /usr/share/texmf/doc/tetex/TETEXDOC.pdf the section
`4.5 pdfetex: the new default TeX engine'
E.g.:
/suse/werner> latex
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
werner/Tests>
werner/Tests> latex bspbrief.tex
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)

With the recent update, tetex is broken. The "ordinary" latex etc. has gone, but a link to pdfetex is created instead. This leads to the following misbehaviour: - If You invoke latex with a properly formatted latex file, You get an error message, because documentclass is not known by pdfetex - If You are a little bit more tricky, You remember Lamport or Knuth and You invoke tex \&latex, You get > tex \&latex This is TeX, Version 3.141592 (Web2C 7.5.4) ---! /var/lib/texmf/web2c/latex.fmt was written by pdfetex (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied) You have to recreate Your format files! (or wait for a proper update ;-))
