Are you using etch or sid? On sid we are at texlive 2007 ...

This is strange.
Can you tell us which files you have in
/etc/texmf/fmt.d
and whether there is a file
/etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-pdfetex.cnf
it should contain lines for etex.
Then check
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
for ### From file: /etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-pdftex.cnf
it should be included.
Best wishes
Norbert

YORK (vb.)
To shift the position of the shoulder straps on a heavy bag or
rucksack in a vain attempt to make it seem lighter. Hence : to laugh
falsely and heartily at an unfunny remark. 'Jasmine yorked politely,
loathing him to the depths of her being' - Virginia Woolf.
