No, sorry. It was my mistake that I sent my reply only to you, not to
the list. Or did you mail directly to me instead of to the list? I
don't remember, and don't seem to have your original mail archived.
I would like to let everybody on the list know about upgrading problems,
and also to use everybody's expertise to solve your problem. Therefore
I forwarded your mail to the list, and am answering to the list and to
you, in english.

Everything in your configuration files is okay,
dpkg-reconfigure tetex-bin
should do the trick. In the other hand, this means that it should not
have given an error in the first place. We should check a little more
closely. Can you please send the output of
ls -l /var/lib/texmf/web2c/*fmt
kpsewhich latex.fmt
kpsewhich --show-path fmt
