The command

$ pdflatex source.tex

gave this error:

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009/Debian)
 restricted \write18 enabled.
---! /home/<user>/.texmf-var/web2c/pdftex/pdflatex.fmt doesn't match pdftex.pool
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)

Just renaming ~/.texmf-var solved the problem (also renaming only
~/.texmf-var/web2c/pdftex/pdflatex.fmt and latex.fmt works).

Bug #543529 seems similar to this one, is this a duplicate?
