I'm becoming root with "su" only.
Hmm.
I tried to compile an old latex file as root (getting with su), but i get the 
same mistake:

As user:
matthias@mfai1:~/tmp$ latex test-tex
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt latex.fmt
fmtutil: format `latex' not available.
I can't find the format file `latex.fmt'!

As root:
matthias@mfai1:~/tmp$ su
Password:
mfai1:/home/matthias/tmp# latex test-tex
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt latex.fmt

Warning: fmtutil is being run as root; fmtutil-sys should probably be
used instead.  If this is done by a Debian package upon installation,
upgrade, or removal, please file a bug against that package.

fmtutil-sys: fmtutil-sys: unknown option `latex.fmt'. Try fmtutil-sys --help 
for help.
I can't find the format file `latex.fmt'!

Matthias
