This is the result of the broken TeXLive 2010 installation. It should have worked out of the box before your failed update attempt. Try again with a clean TeXLive 2010 or install minimals.

This is the second trap I fell into by following the instructions in the manuals: all that rsync stuff jazzed up my TeXLive 2010 installation and I had to reinstall. This bad advice is found on the "Running Mark IV" page on the wiki. Of course, I wanted to run MkIV and ended up spending another hour reinstalling TeXLive to get it back.

On my desktop machine I have both TeXLive (for Cygwin) and ConTeXt minimals (for Windows) installed, my notebook has only TeXLive. I am no longer tempted to update any of these, even if I prefer to stay current.

As a newbie, I wanted to try out the Concrete Roman font ... but abandoned that quest when it looked like I was going to have to tinker with the internals again. I am now staying firmly on the "end user" side of the ConTeXt fence.
