It happens to me, too, when I simply run `fink reinstall tetex-base`. My first guess is that the final error refers to the message shown below, which functionally is just a warning, but technically is treated as an error message. Looking at the date, and trying to make sense of the mathematics with which latex.ltx computes "five years", I guess it is possible that this error shows up only after June 1st, 2009. My personal suggestion is to take a hint from this and switch from tetex to texlive. I have been using the texlive packages by Tomoaki Okayama for the last couple of weeks daily without any problem. Here is the message that shows up in those format builds that fail (there are quite a few that succeed, basically anything that does not involve latex.ltx): !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! You are attempting to make a LaTeX format from a source file ! That is more than five years old. ! ! If you enter <return> to scroll past this message then the format ! will be built, but please consider obtaining newer source files ! before continuing to build LaTeX. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
