Dear Julien,

this bug has been fixed since ages and cannot be fixed in a better vway.
Looking into the fmtutil.log file you would have seen that
pdftexconfig.tex is missing. dlocate-ing it will give you
texlive-base-bin, and you ill find in the NEWS.Debian file a long
explanation.

You have to reinstall texlive-base-bin  

See at least bugs: #425803, #435156, #435081, #433889, #436235,
 #435719, #435081, #433889)

Closing this bug. If you need more explanations please contact us on
list.

Best wishes

Norbert
