Sorry, my fault. I was thinking about fmtutil.cnf and
/etc/texmf/fmt.d.

Give us "kpsewhich fmtutil.cnf", "grep latex `kpsewhich fmtutil.cnf`"
and "grep latex /etc/texmf/fmt.d/*".

Both formats exists. If you move back the symlink both should work:
  latex inputfile.tex
and
  tex &latex inputfile.tex
. One should call Knuth TeX and the other e-TeX.
