If you'd given the smallest hint that this was the case, we would have
been more specific much earlier.
Well, let's forget about that, here's what we'd like to know:
- just to clear things up: The packages you used these times were from
unstable, they were compiled by a buildd, not by you? Do you have a
backup of /var/cache/apt/archives?
- Please send us the contents /usr/share/texmf/ls-R if it is small, or
head and tail if it is big, as well as permission modes of that file
- Do the files /etc/texmf/{fmtutil.cnf,texmf.cnf} exist?
Regards, Frank
