Looks like deployment-bastion is missing the scap-recompile deployment tool. CC-ing Beta-Cluster-Infrastructure for information.
There is still a symlink on deployment-bastion:
/usr/local/bin/scap-recompile -> /srv/deployment/scap/scap/bin/scap-recompile
The target is automatically updated via a cronjob apparently, which is fine. Looking at mediawiki/tools/scap.git , the script has been removed with https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/186808/ Kill scap-recompile with fire. The reason being we no more compile texvc on the deploy host. I have no idea how its is compiled though.
There is a deb package that is used in production:

It is designed to handle heavy websites containing library-like document collections, and supports user uploads of images/sounds, multilingual content, TOC autogeneration, ISBN links, etc. . Moreover, it keeps track of changes, so users can receive notifications, view diffs and revert edits. This system has many other features and can easily be extended. . This package contains the texvc binary required by the math rendering plugin.
The old script from https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/186808/1/bin/scap-recompile,unified should probably be put into a CI related repository if needed for a Jenkins job.
texvc in master has diverged from deb package. @cscott did some improvements to texvc while developing texvcjs
FWIW the original context for this is T47076, I tend to agree with the rationale there. not sure how to best point people at the deb package when texvc is changed in master
texvc is not changed frequently and hopefully will disappear soon
However, the jenkins error is still present:
https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/job/beta-recompile-math-texvc-eqiad/309/console
So is texvc still required now that we have mathoid? I assume beta is using that now...
Change 229376 had a related patch set uploaded (by Tim Landscheidt):
Temporarily disable beta-recompile-math-texvc-eqiad
