Hi,

this tex-common does not install on my system,
here is the end of the fmtutil log...:

"...
Running mktexlsr. This may take some time... done.
Running updmap-sys. This may take some time... done.
Running mktexlsr /var/lib/texmf ... done.
Building format(s) --all.

And this is the head:

--- fmtutil full log...:

*** /tmp/fmtutil.5xBG5aqo
fmtutil: fmtutil is using the following fmtutil.cnf files (in precedence order):
fmtutil:   /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
fmtutil:   /usr/share/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
fmtutil:   /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
fmtutil: fmtutil is using the following fmtutil.cnf file for writing changes:
fmtutil:   /etc/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf

That file /etc/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf is not delivered w/ Debian, instead normally the files in /var are used. I guess that file contains a reference to the context formats, although context is not installed.

Try two things:
1. Does installing context solves your problem?
2. Please send a copy of the file /etc/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf.
