Bug#679073: texlive-base: failed during dist-upgrade (/usr/bin/fmtutil: Segmentation fault)

> Is it fmtutil, which crashes or pdftex?

fmtutil is a shell script! If that crashes it would be scary!

> pdftex -ini -jobname=etex -progname=etex -translate-file=cp227.tcx *etex.ini

Please add ' around the *etex.ini, i.e.,
  pdftex ..... '*etex.ini'

Thanks
