I wondered about that, too.

Your crystal ball is good. Where did you get it? Anyway, it is indeed
the case that tetex-base.postinst does not call update-fmtutil before
caling fmtutil-sys, which is probably wrong.

But this is a bug against tetex-base. An debian-tex-maint is the
maintainer of that package. We have had theproblem before. Typically
with large messages. Unfortunately the latter are typical when building
formats fails and people do what they are told, ie include the log file.
Oh well ...
