my texmf had been empty before. You're right. texexec had been using an old format file: $ kpsewhich cont-en.fmt /var/lib/texmf/web2c/cont-en.fmt I've deleted it (and also the old context directory). Now kpsewhich finds the right format file in ~/.texmf-var/. > >> ConTeXt ver: 2005.01.31 fmt: 2006.6.27 int: english mes: english > > This is the old teTeX-supplied context format from January 31, 2005, > that was last regenerated on June 27.

Another problem might be that texexec --check complains about the nl format (actually I don't use it, en seems to work fine for me): TeXExec | progname: context This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) (/home/ralf/texmf/web2c/natural.tcx) kpathsea: Running mktexfmt cont-nl.fmt mktexfmt: no info for format `cont-nl'.
