Here's the culprit: ### From file: /etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-base.cnf # 10texlive-base.cnf [...] # this file has been changed by the postinst script. User-changes from # mf mf-nowin - -translate-file=cp227.tcx mf.ini etex pdftex language.def -translate-file=cp227.tcx *etex.ini [...] # The following added lines have been transferred from # /etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-base-bin.cnf #They take precedence over earlier entries etex pdftex language.def -translate-file=cp227.tcx *etex.ini pdfetex pdftex language.def -translate-file=cp227.tcx *pdfetex.ini ### End of file: /etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-base.cnf So there's a duplicate entry for etex after the transfer from 10texlive-base-bin.cnf. This is probably a bug in our transitioning code. Or the code should be removed completely now? Can you please check whether there's a file whose name resembles /etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-base-bin.cnf with some extension (or other mangling) that indicates we moved it out of the way? If you find it, please send it. Copying the two lines directly to each other: etex pdftex language.def -translate-file=cp227.tcx *etex.ini etex pdftex language.def -translate-file=cp227.tcx *etex.ini shows no differences. This is strange, IIRC the transitioning code checks whether the line in the old file (10texlive-base-bin.cnf) is identical to the new one, and if yes stops processing it.
