Subject: Strange error while generating format

Hello, all--
I am trying to set up a new version of ConTeXt (the latest stable
version, I guess? I downloaded it from Pragma ADE yesterday). But when I
run 'texexec --make en' I get the following error:
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/page-imp.tex
loading : Context Core Macros / Pagebody Building
system (E-TEX) : [line 736] \dimexpr
! Undefined control sequence.
l.743 \setuppaper
?
I say this is strange because I'm sure \setuppaper is defined--and if it
weren't, surely it would have been noticed and corrected by now. I think
all ConTeXt files are in their proper places ... at least, they are in
the same places they were in a previous working installation.
Some pertinent facts:
TeX distribution: teTeX 1.0.2
Major addons: pTeX 2.0 (but as far as I know this doesn't replace
core files)
Platform: Debian GNU/Linux 3.0
Maybe the files are getting loaded in the wrong order? But I can't think
of any reason why that might happen. Or have I missed some important
step?
P.S.: I think there's something missing from the installation guide
(minstall.pdf): teTeX users may need to edit $TEXMF/web2c/fmtutil.cnf in
order to enable texexec to find 'cont-*.ini'.
