This is realy strange - although kpsewhich knows about the right path to
look for format files, it doesn't seem to *put* them there when they are
created. 

I assume that the command

$ kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMFSYSVAR
/var/lib/texmf
$

has the same output on your system, right?  So let's dig deep.  Attached
is a script, please save it as /usr/local/sbin/fmtutil-sys and make it
executable.  After this, run

fmtutil-sys > fmtutil-sys.lg 2>&1

and send us the resulting file fmtutil-sys.lg

TIA, Frank
