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.
