I need your help



Dear maintainers

Last week, I installed TEX in my computer. But it didn't work (segmentation fault) . I tried to remove packages but apt stopped halfway. I am in a very bad situation. I can't apt-get anything!  I hope you give me some instruction to escape from this fatal situation.

***System Information***
pentium4 on a MSI motherboad
linux kernel 2.6.14 (debian official 2.6.14-2-686 package)
debian : sid
shell : sh

***Packages I installed last week***
tetex-bin, tetex-base, tetex-extra, tetex-frogg, 
jtex-bin, jtex-base, ptex-bin, ptex-base
gs, gs-esp, gs-cjk-resource, 
cmap-adobe-japan2, cmap-adobe-cns1, cmap-adobe-gb1
xdvik-ja, dvipsk-ja, dvipdfmx
okumura-clsfiles, vfdata-morisawa5

I installed these official debian packages in a normal way (apt-get install)

Then, I tested a testscript.

$platex testscript.tex
segmentation fault

I guessed that this was because I forgot to install ptex-buildsupport.
Then, I tried to install it. And I got an error message:

************************************************************

fmtutil: format directory : ~/web2c does not exist
WARNING fmtutil was run as root: fmtutill-sys was used instead

************************************************************

Then, I decided to remove all to reinstall some days later, using " apt-get remove"
But the operation stopped halfway. jtex and ptex were removed but tetex packages remain. 
And the tetex-extra is broken. 

**************************************************************

#kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFSYSVAR
segmentation fault
#kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFSYSCONFIG
segmentation fault
#kpsewhich --help
...................................... 
Recognized format names and their suffixes:
segmentation fault
#dpkg  --listfiles tetex-extra
/etc/texmf/upmap.d/20tetex-extra.cfg

**************************************************************

It seems that of the tetex-extra package, only one file remains (20tetex-extra.cfg)

I tried many options of apt and dpkg.
For exemple, when I tried dpkg --forceoverwrite:

**************************************************************

# dpkg -i forceoverwrite tetex-extra_3.0-15_all.deb
............................................................

Paramétrage de tetex-extra (3.0-15) ...
mktexlsr: Done.
Creating missing formats.
Running fmtutil-sys. This may take some time. ...
/usr/bin/fmtutil: line 378: /texconfig/tcfmgr: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type
fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found.

fmtutil failed.


************************************************************

And when I run once again apt-get remove:

*************************************************************

# apt-get remove tetex-extra
......................................................
Running updmap-sys. This may take some time. ...
updmap failed. 


************************************************************

I am very confused.
I want you to give me some instruction to get rid of this situation.
I want to use tex.
But first of all, I want to use apt-get.

I thank you very much in advance.

I include updmap output.
