[stuff removed]$DebCnfFile The only clear text in that garbled output is $DebCnfFile. This string occurse in /usr/share/texlive-bin/debianize-fmtutil, which is sourced by fmtutil. AFAIS it should only be called when the argument to fmtutil isn't --all, but --enable Map. However, this /might/ point to a real bug in our scripts: Have the mechanisms for fmt.d also changed, i.e. is a stacked approach used there, too? Then, maybe, the code to find the right config file for --enable Map is buggy. However, this shouldn't be relevant here. I didn't really check the code, though. Could you maybe edit /usr/bin/fmtutil-sys and do the following change: exec fmtutil ${1+"$@"} exec sh -x /usr/bin/fmtutil ${1+"$@"} and try again?
