Bug#832405: tex-common: fmtutil failed to build pdftex/cont-en xetex/cont-en as cont-en.mkii missing
Hi Hilmar, thanks for pointing out this side of the problem.
I removed /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf and it resolved the issue.
altogether my /etc/texmf needs TLC, I have a lot of
remains from post year 2K!... I will cruft it.

so this '/etc/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf' used for "writing" results indeed, is non existent on my system.
but found in the /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf:"...

which is wrong since '/etc/texmf/fmt.d' disappeared from "my"
deb-system!
other relevant fmtutil.cnf are then from ...
texlive-base: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
texlive-base: /usr/share/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c/fmtutil.cnf:"...
