Hi Benoît,

I don't see these errors with texlive full installed.

What do you have in texmf-local/web2c/fmtutil.cnf? Do you really
need new/changed formats?

I strngly suggest backing up and removing this file, and then run
	sudo fmtutil-sys --all

I assume I can safely remove all the files in texmf-local.web2c (keeping only updmap.cfg) and let tlmgr rebuild the formats when needed.

Yes, that is rather a good idea!

If you still have problemss afterwards, let us know.
