Thanks for reporting. Let's limit this to where the actual error occurs:

You have installed a recent ConTeXt in /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/,
right? All the files that are loaded above are not part of tetex-base.
And at the first file that is loaded from tetex-base (after the ini
file), an error occurs:

I have no idea what this error means, but most likely the old cont-usr.tex
from tetex-base is incompatible with the new ConTeXt files you installed
in /usr/share/texmf/. I don't think this is a bug in teTeX. ;-) Is there
no cont-usr.tex in the new ConTeXt? That one should take precedence over
the one in /usr/share/texmf-tetex/.
