Replying to my own post in case someone else one day has the same
problem - I have resolved this now. Apparently something changed in the
format of the config files (which in my case live in a separate
directory: /usr/local/share/texmf-var) between tetex 1 and tetex 2 and
texconfig from tetex 2 didn 't want to play nicely with my config files
from tetex 1. In the end I just deleted all of them:
rm -fR /usr/local/share/texmf-var/*
and then re-entered my config details in texconfig. Now everything is
working fine.
Best, Darren
