Re: [2.96.1] problem: latex generates pdf rather than dvi

Running latex on a minimal document that loads hyperref, e.g.
  \documentclass{minimal}
  \usepackage{hyperref}
  \begin{document}
  Hi
  \end{document}
shows that hyperref can happily work with our current setup.

So, I guess that it is some other package or the document itself that
sets \pdfoutput=1.
