Bummer ...

Can you send me the fmtutil.cnf file, and whether jadetex and/or xmltex
is installed.

Can you do (as root, assuming bash):
	v=`kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFSYSVAR`
	c=`kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFSYSCONFIG`
	TEXMFVAR="$v"
	TEXMFCONFIG="$c"
	export TEXMFVAR TEXMFCONFIG
	bash -x /usr/bin/fmtutil --all > fmtutil.log 2>&1
and send me the output fmtutil.log?

Thanks

Best wishes

Norbert
