This is really strange.
I checked it. I removed my latex format, I called
pdftex -ini -jobname=jadetex -progname=jadetex '&latex' jadetex.ini
and the mktexfmt latex.fmt call succeeds. I have no idea why it does not
succeed in your case.
Can you do another test: Please edit /usr/bin/fmtutil and at the top add
set -x
then redo the test and break off as usual. I want to see why
fmtutil/mktexfmt cannot find the latex.fmt.
You do have texlive-latex-base installed, you do have
/etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-latex-base.cnf and it contains a latex line?
What does kpsewhich --format='web2c files' fmtutil.cnf say? And does
this file contain the same latex line as
/etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-latex-base.cnf?
Thanks a lot for your valuable help ...
Best wishes
Norbert
