Ugg, I hate it, please do the followng:

Start a bash, ie at the prompt type
$ bash

then
TEXMFVAR=/var/lib/texmf
TEXMFCONFIG=/etc/texmf
RUNNING_AS_SYS=true
export TEXMFVAR TEXMFCONFIG RUNNING_AS_SYS
bash -x fmtutil --all > fmtutil.log 2>&1

and send me fmtutil.log

Thanks

Norbert

CORRIEARKLET (n.)
The moment at which two people approaching from opposite ends of a
long passageway, recognise each other and immediately pretend they
haven't. This is to avoid the ghastly embarrassment of having to
continue recognising each other the whole length of the corridor.
