And some more questions.  It's a bit unclear to me whether "The problem
remains" means just that tetex-base cannot be configured, or
specifically that it still fails with the same jadetex error?  If it is
still jadetex, then we also need the answers to the other questions
asked earlier to the submitter:

dpkg -l jadetex tetex-base tex-common
ls -l /etc/texmf/fmt.d/
cat /etc/texmf/fmt.d/*jade*
kpsewhich --format='web2c files' fmtutil.cnf # after becoming root the
                                             # same way you do for
                                             # dpkg/apt/aptitude
                                             # invocations
