This is strange, very strange...
modes.mf is in texlive-base, so if there is no texlive-base installed,
then *still* texlive-base-bin should break at configure time because it
tries to build the mf format.
Are you sure ???

BOOK What to do if you find yourself stuck in a crack in the ground
underneath a giant boulder you can't move, with no hope of
rescue. Consider how lucky you are that life has been good to
you so far. Alternatively, if life hasn't been good to you so
far, which given your current circumstances seems more likely,
consider how lucky you are that it won't be troubling you much
longer.
