some feedback could be red herring.

In my case I had a malfunction of texi2dvi after last
texlive package upgrade.

I had no setup error and all postinstall script were done.

running
  /usr/bin/fmtutil-sys --all

solved the issue.
I guess that an unexpected sequence between postinstall scripts could 
have caused the issue, or eventually a residual .texmf directory on my home.


Other issue, not really important;

"/usr/bin/fmtutil-sys --all" produce these failure  messages

fmtutil: Error! Not all formats have been built successfully.
