Bug#528515: error processing texlive-base (--configure)

[Jana Kasparova <kasparov@asu.cas.cz>]

Thanks. Removing /etc/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf helped and texlive-base got 
configured properly/

However, I really don't know where that fmtutil.cnf came from. Previously, 
tetex from etch was there and I'm not aware of doing any changes to it.

Please, close the bug.
