Hello Norbert,

The packages texlive-latex-base & texlive-latex-extra try to build 
luatex based format files, which fails, if texlive-luatex is not present.

I suggest to move the appropriate lines in
/var/lib/tex-common/fmtutil-cnf/texlive/{texlive-latex-base.cnf/texlive-latex-extra.cnf} 
to texlive-luatex.cnf. Unfortunately I'm unsure, how the content of 
these files is created. I guess it is from 
texlive-base-xxxx.xxxxxx/texmf-dist/web2c/fmtutil.cnf . Please confirm.

For now I'd declare a dep on texlive-luatex for texlive-latex-base & 
texlive-latex-extra, which probably solves the issue, but is not optimal 
IMHO. Thanks!
