You are NOT using the generated fmtutil.cnf file, but replaced it
with the above one (/etc/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf). I don't know HOW
that file was created there, but the correct one is in
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
But it cannot be used because on your system there is a different fmtutil.cnf
file that overrides the geenrated one.
If you want this, then it is *your* obligation to make sure that
fmtutil.cnf does not mention formats and programs that do not exists.
Please remove that file and it should work.
If that is true, please close the bug (or I will do it).
Best wishes
Norbert

One of those irritating handle-less slippery translucent plastic bags
you get in supermarkets which, no matter how you hold them, always
contrive to let something fall out.
