> My disk is not full. If i only unpack tetex-bin (dpkg --unpack tetex-bin_1.0.7+200000807-5_i386.deb) i get the texmf.cnf.dpkg-new files, but after configuring they are gone. Here's a piece of output.

Very excellent information!

I can not understand neither but only as a possibility.

Don't you set TEXMF environment variable or something as root?
Please show us the output of 'env | grep TEX' when you are a root
of your system.  (Perhaps this is irrelevant now...)

Or don't you install a private version of TeX?

And you installed the previous tetex-bin successfully or is this
your first installation of tetex-bin?
