Binary package hint: texlive-base

I have the basic texlive installation (installed by single command, sudo apt-get texIive-base, if I remember well.) It all is running in a LiveCD i386 session but this should not be important.

THE PROBLEM:

If I try to produce a PDF file from DVI using dvipdfm or dvipdfmx, I am always getting warning messages

** WARNING ** Failed to load AGL file "pdfglyphlist.txt"...
** WARNING ** Failed to load AGL file "glyphlist.txt"...

It looks that some dependencies are missing or there is an inconsistency in packages. The PDF document is created anyway.

HOW TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE:

1.) Create any simple LaTeX document, e.g. a file containing one letter "a":

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,oneside]{report}
\begin{document}
a
\end{document}

Name the above 4-line file as "myfile.tex", for example.

2.) Compile it: latex myfile.tex
3.) Create PDF from DVI: dvipdfm myfile.dvi

The warnings written above are produced.

The same problem occurs when I use dvipdfmx.

However the other converter, dvipdf, works fine in this respect, i.e. without the warning messages. Also pdflatex works OK.
