Maybe I'm missing something, but that didn't help.  Comment 1 there
refers to the pdflatex section, which I'm not seeing.  Uncommenting the
pdftex section didn't seem to do the job.

I suppose removing and reinstalling texlive-\* and tex-\* sill do it,
but that's kind of a pain, as I have a bunch of additional packages
beyond the default installed.
