ok, that is all *very* bad.

Please do as root:
	cd /etc/texmf/fmt.d
	rm 05TeXMF.cnf 15Plain.cnf 45TeXinputs.cnf
	rm  55Fonts.cnf 65BibTeX.cnf 75DviPS.cnf 85Misc.cnf 90TeXDoc.cnf
	rm 95NonPath.cnf
	for i in *.dpkg-new ; do mv $i $(basename $i .dpkg-new) ; done

	cd /etc/texmf/texmf.d
	for i in *.dpkg-new ; do mv $i $(basename $i .dpkg-new) ; done
	
THen check whether you have
	/etc/texmf/web2c/mktex.cnf
it should look like:
	# global font cache, also change VARTEXFONTS in 05TeXMF.cnf
	#: ${MT_FEATURES=appendonlydir:varfonts}
	# per user font cache 
	: ${MT_FEATURES=appendonlydir:texmfvar}
	#: ${MODE=ljfour}
	#: ${BDPI=600}
	# uncomment the following line to use ps2pk instead of gsftopk:
	# : ${ps_to_pk=ps2pk}

If it is there, remove /etc/texmf/fmt.d/mktex.cnf and
/etc/texmf/texmf.d/mktex.cnf

Then call as root
	update-texmf
	update-fmtutil
	fmtutil-sys --all

I hope that fixes it for you, but ...

Not "perhaps", for sure!!! Did you fsck? I would say there can me
*MUCH* more fu**ed up on your PC, other config files destroyed etc etc.
Watch out, everything you have installed during that time just before
the crash might have created complete rubbish all around your hard drive!

The last time anybody made a list of the top hundred
character attributes of New Yorkers, common sense snuck in
at number 79. ....
When it's fall in New York, the air smells as if someone's
been frying goats in it, and if you are keen to breathe the
best plan is to open a window and stick your head in a
building.
