It's the same problem already discussed earlier:  fmtutil generates the
formats in a temporary directory, but the ones in /var/lib/texmf are
still in the path, and before the newly generated ones.

I don't even remember in which bug we discussed it (probably it was in
connection with jadetex), but does anybody remember any serious
arguments against the quick-and-dirty solution of removing the old
formats in /var/lib/texmf/web2c?

Prior to calling 
fmtutil-sys --all
I would say that this is ok.

BTW: Same bug is present an filed against texlive.

Another suggestion: Only remove the latex and pdflatex format files.
This really is only a problem with jadetex as it uses the latex format
in its initialization.

texlive packages now call
rm -f /var/lib/texmf/{latex,pdflatex}.{fmt,log}
before calling fmtutil-sys --all.

This is strange, since this should read the same format file as latex
before, and therefore has no reason to fail.

What is the output of the following command, called as root (or exactly,
after getting root the same way you used for updating):

kpsewhich --progname=jadetex --format=texpool pdfetex.pool   

If it is *not* /usr/share/texmf/web2c/pdfetex.pool, we know what causes
the problem.  If it gives this file as output, please save the attached
file as /usr/local/bin/fmtutil-sys, make it executable and check
whether it is actually called (using which fmtutil-sys, you may need
to open a new shell for that to work).

Then call 

fmtutil-sys --byfmt=jadetex 21 | tee jadetex.log

and send us the resulting file jadetex.log.

 Any info on whether my tetex system is safe to use, and work-arounds

I'm pretty sure that everything but jadetex is fine.  But safe it is,
anyway - it will never destroy any input files, will it?

More to the problem follows.
