Did *you* add this lines???
They are complete rubbish, they should NOT be there, as they are already
mentioned above.
The problem is that the text:
#They take precedence over earlier entries
is WRONG.
Anyone having an idea how that happened????
fmtutil dies becasue it has an infinite loop detection code which also
springs in if the same format/engine combination is built twice or more
times (well, the same happens in infinite loops!).
The quest now is *why* on earth are these lines in your
/etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-base.cnf
They are NOT in mine, and not in the one we ship!
To fix your problem, remove the stuff after
# /etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-base-bin.cnf
to the end of file, call (as root)
update-fmtutil
and
fmtutil-sys --all
(or dpkg --configure -a)
