Was already in my way to cleaning up : 
Well I removed texmf directories from /sw/ subdirectories. 
Was it foolish, oh no!!

Now I also removed  the .texmf-var directory from home. 
There was no .texmf-config present though.

To start with I do not have either tetex or texlive installed. 

I first tried to see whether I can go back to tetex 3.0-1006

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then I tried to install texlive  
texlive          0.20080816

The same warning above ggv appeared.

Apart from that

I am not able to find tcfmgr in /sw/share/texmf-dist/texconfig
as the error message says. Also no fmtutil.cnf in /sw/share/texmf-dist/fmtutil
But it is present in the web2pc directory.
