This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.3-1.40.12 (TeX Live 2011)
restricted \write18 enabled.

I can't find the format file `pdflatex.fmt'!

A fix was to edit the lines in
/usr/share/texlive/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf that are within the pdftex
section and remove the "#!" in front. After that, pdflatex worked again.
It's very inconvenient though. Is there anything that I could have done
in order to prevent that cobbly upgrade path?
Cheers,
Tobi
