Hi everyone having this problem,

Please read the bug report 557091, there is a fix. The problem is
that somehow old lines were taken over into a config file which have
to be purged.

We will write some code to fix it.

Search for the following lines in
	/etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-base.cnf

# The following added lines have been transferred from
# /etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-base-bin.cnf
#They take precedence over earlier entries
etex            pdftex         language.def    -translate-file=cp227.tcx *etex.ini
pdfetex         pdftex         language.def    -translate-file=cp227.tcx *pdfetex.ini

They should be deleted. That are left overs from old-stable.

Best wishes

Norbert
