I hope someone can help. Recently, I have been unable to compile tex/latex

$ latex template.tex This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
entering extended mode

If I input the file name at the prompt, it returns the same
error. Presumably, this is after a recent apt-get upgrade. I have,

problem. Can anyone help solve the problem, or at least point me to
some helpful info?

Have you tried "texconfig" to reconfigure your tetex-installation? Maybe that helps?
