Thanks Mojca, But strangely I got the same message after rebuilding! Then I remove again the fmt files and try ctxtools --updatecontext again; same thing again!

I also tried with another file, no more success!

Did you do the step of finding and removing all the old .fmt files? On my system, fmtuil-sys puts the cont-en.fmt formats in texmf-var/web2c/pdftex/ and texmf-var/web2c/xetex/, but the context tools put them under texmf-config, so it is all easy to end up with multiple versions of the .fmt files. -- George N.

OK, things are back to normal now after I removed cont-en.fmt and cont-nl.fmt from my home ~/.texlive2007/texmf-var/web2c/pdftex and /xetex, I still don't see where this problem came from as it is not the first time I did an update.

The format files in ~/.texlive2007 are generated by fmtutil --all. I try to remember to use fmtutil-sys --all so they go in texmf-var.

The files were not recreated by texexec --make --all.

I doubt texexec knows about ~/.texlive2007 -- that was done so individual users on multi-user systems could make "personal" formats without the need for the intervention of an adminstrator. For safety you might want to disable context in the fmtutil configuration. I tend to do a fair bit of pdftex testing so it is convenient to get the cont-en format when I build the others. -- George N. White III Head of St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia
