Well, all that were control characters from texconfig, but the final
message was:
Could not find default config file for dvipdfm (config).
which differs slightly from that one you've got.

That makes we wondering: before you had on your system libkpathsea3
2.0.2-22 and after the reinstall too (at least, if you hadn't a
completely broken installation, like in #253417).
So, the only reason I could see, was a missing ldconfig run. Or
you've changed something during your playings, you're not aware of.

Well, just because the installation of your tetex-bin fails doesn't
mean, that there are the same reasons for that....
EOD, I'd say,
