Bug#851598: tex-common: fails to upgrade jessie->stretch (recommends enabled) with cadabra installed

Hmmm, strange. In this chroot did the failure occur? I don't see
amstex in any of the fmtutil files so it should not happen ...
wait ...
fmtutil: /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
fmtutil: /usr/share/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
fmtutil: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
The last two are links to the above you send me, but to be sure:
* ls -l /usr/share/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
* the file /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
please.
My "high confidence" was wrong ;-)

You mean by replacing the file, and at the same time rm_conffile?
Would that work?

That sounds good, I guess I need to test a new tex-common, but first
want to find the reason for the error.
Thanks
