That this happens *after* you have purged all tetex packages indicates
that there are some old format files lying around.
You should get a working system by calling as root
fmtutil-sys --all
If this still not works, then you probably have still some old formats
lying around. Do you have locate installed? If yes, what does
locate latex.fmt
locate mf-nowin.base
say?

hear your answer, but who cuts short your opening sentence by leaning
forward and saying 'and I'll tell you why I ask...' and then talking
solidly for the next hour.
