This is the source of ALL your problems!

This fmtutils file overrides the one created from the system files.

You should NOT NOT NOT use texconfig for defining formats.

Please read
 /usr/share/doc/tex-common/TeX-on-Debian
(in various formats). You should edit the files in
 /etc/texmf/fmt.d/

MEATH (adj.)
Warm and very slightly clammy. Descriptive of the texture of your
hands after the automatic drying machine has turned itself off, just
damp enough to make it embarrassing if you have to shake hands with
someone immediately afterwards.
