This is strange as there is no pdfetex anymore (well, as a link). I only
can imagine that you have some old package (like xmltex, passivetex,
jadetex, etc) installed and not upgraded to the latest version.
Did (or do) you have some files in /etc/texmf/fmt.d/ which mentions
something else then texlive (and 00tex.cnf)?

Ok, so I suppose the following:
- you (once, some time ago) had xmltex installed
- then you removed it, but didn't purge it, so the config files did
remain
- upgrading swapped fmtutil into an endless loop because it tried to
update the xmltex format (older versions were buggy) even if it is not
installed, this goes into an infinite loop.
- you installed the new xmltex version which fixes these problems
Now you can remove (or purge) xmltex.
I guess we can close this bug? Do you agree?
Best wishes
Norbert
