>*Before* you installed texlive? Anyway, it could also be that this is an
old bug of tex-common.

Yes, I had tetex installed before texlive. I removed it completely
(=purged) (but I think I hadn't removed tex-common, just tetex*) and
tried to install texlive, and that's where my trouble started.

> Hmm, you don't remember which ones?
this one:
a7a951909ec4db73211080d555707be9  /etc/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
Now I understand it better, I can tell you that the md5 hash won't be correct, 
because i used texconfig to uncomment lines starting with csplain, cslatex, 
pdfcsplain and pdfcslatex (because I am Czech and it was in a guide I found). 
The whole problem was (in my laic view) in some redundant files in /etc/texmf, 
which caused problems after that. But i used only apt-get to install and 
remove, no manual interaction.

So as far as I can remember, I think the sequence was like this:
1. on fresh system (no tex before) I installed tetex packages (not sure exactly 
which)
2. "sudo texconfig", uncomment 'cs' commands, rehash, exit
3. purged tetex packages
4. install texlive -> problem

My system is originally Ubuntu 6.06 upgraded to 6.10 upgraded to 7.04,
so it may be possible that some problem was caused by upgrades. But I've
never installed any tex up till now.
