I appended a file containing the output to prevent useless linebreaks caused 
by the mail client editor.
Should I run as root again? I hope so.

I didn't belive in the output, so I changed the grep search pattern to find anything beginning with "latex"
It's less enough
mfai1:/home/matthias/tmp# egrep "^latex" `/usr/share/texmf/texconfig/tcfmgr  --cmd find --file fmtutil.cnf`
latex           pdfetex         language.dat    -translate-file=cp227.tcx *latex.ini

The next command made no output
mfai1:/home/matthias# kpsewhich -progname=latex -format=tex latex.ini
mfai1:/home/matthias#

mfai1:/home/matthias# ls -ld /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/config
