I experience weird bibtex behaviour, I think it does not run properly.

Symptoms:

No file main.aux.
No file main.bbl.

LaTeX Warning: Citation 'key' on page 1 undefined on input line 17.

Consider this minimal working example from an accepted answer.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=authoryear-comp]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\usepackage{filecontents}

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@book{key,
  author = {Author, A.},
  year = {2001},
  title = {Title},
  publisher = {Publisher},
}
\end{filecontents}

\begin{document}

\cite{key}

\printbibliography

\end{document}

How to reproduce:

UPD "installing biber" means, manual installation of the package! Neither MPM nor apt-get help here.

    The document needs biber not bibtex. – Ulrike Fischer Feb 23 '18 at 10:37

    The document still needs biber and not bibtex. So did you try to run biber file? – Ulrike Fischer Feb 23 '18 at 11:56
  • @UlrikeFischer I am not sure which call sequence is right; just calling biber did not help. See here: A-01 https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/417007/working-combination-of-a-reference-system-environment-and-an-example-document-fo – J. Doe Feb 24 '18 at 15:08
