Texlive install fails: fmtutil returns an error code

[paersona]

When installing texlive on debian 9.3 stretch, dpkg fails to configure all the tex related packages.

What I know now is that:
tex-common is failing to be configured because fmtutil fails.
Everything else fails because tex-common can't be configured.

I can't use apt to remove the packages, it is broken, because it will try and fail to configure the packages.

Output of: sudo apt-get -f install:

fmtutil log:

Can someone help me with it? How should I procede?

Try

Code: Select all

# apt update
# apt-get -f install

We should probably also see the output of

Code: Select all

apt policy
