Failure messages?

How does it come that you purged all packages and still have
texlive-omega installed?
Can you as root please set
printenv
??
Something is deeply strange on your system.
The failures you sent are AFTER purging all packagas and reinstalling
the packages?
If yes, I can't believe that. modes.mf *is* present in texlive-base, and
if you have purged it also the information that it has been removed has
disappeared. Reinstalling *must* create the modes.mf file.
Then, texlive-omega is still there, strange enough
Again, please:
kpsewhich --format='web2c files' fmtutil.cnf
what does it show?
And please attach this file.
I really suspect that you have done something strange to your system.
About several hundreds to thousands time these packages have been
installed from a clean state without breaking ...
Best wishes
