Thank you. And now, what happens if you do (as root)

update-fmtutil -v
egrep '^TEXMF |^VARTEXMF' /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf

and if there's a VARTEXMF now, you can run "dpkg --configure -a" and
get a working tetex-bin, but I fear this will not happen.

Yes, of course - excuse me.

Thank you, applied with one addition (SEE ALSO --> README.Debian)

when i type

and then

egrep '^TEXMF |^VARTEXMF' /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf

i got this
TEXMF = {$HOMETEXMF,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFOLDLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMAIN}

in the other hand, when i type

update-texmf

and then

egrep '^TEXMF |^VARTEXMF' /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf

i got

This is strange, and probably the cause of the bug. Next step in
debugging is

bash -x /usr/sbin/update-texmf > update-texmf.log 2>&1

Then please send us the file update-texmf.log

Many thanks so far,

Thanks for the log. It seems there is a problem with the way we let update-texmf change the file. We use ucf for it, and this utility does
not do what we want it to do.

So for further debugging, you have to do some more work. The first ist
just some informational stuff:

grep texmf.cnf /var/lib/ucf/hashfile
md5sum /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf

The next is a little more complicated. Please create a copy of /usr/sbin/update-texmf, make it executable and open it in an editor. The
fifth non-blank line counting back from the end of the file is:

rm -r ${TMPDIR}

Please change this to

echo rm -r ${TMPDIR}

Then execute the file (as root), e.g.

./update-texmf

It will put out something like

rm -r /tmp/tmp.DNC6zo

Please change to this directory. It will contain a file with a name
starting with texmf (and ending with some random characters), say
texmfXX43a, and a directory with md5sum.d appended,
e.g. texmfXX43a.md5sum.d/. Please (as root) issue the command

ucf --verbose -d --three-way texmfXX43a /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf

exchanging the texmf-filename with what you found, and send us the
output.

Thanks in advance, Frank
