That buildd chroot has since beet autocleaned. But this is reproducible
in local pbuilder as well.
This is TeX, Version 3.141592 (Web2C 7.5.6)
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt tex.fmt
I can't find the format file `tex.fmt'!
make[1]: *** [gpcard.dvi] Error 1

"rm -rf" only sounds scary if you don't have backups

chroot, /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex has no file etex.log OR etex.fmt.
The only files in that directory are latex.log, latex.fmt, pdflatex.log,
pdflatex.fmt. And there is no directory /var/lib/texmf/web2c/tex at
all. Even when I run "mktexfmt --byfmt etex", neither etex.log nor
etex.fmt is created anywhere within the chroot.
And I notice that by the timestamps in /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex in
the root filesystem outside the chroot, {etex,pdfetex,pdftex}.{fmt,log}
are about 5 days older than {latex,pdflatex}.{fmt,log}.

How did you do it? With
pbuilder --build gnuplot....dsc

I just now installed texlive-latex-base in a clean pbuilder and it
worked without any problems, there was tex.log and tex.fmt ...
Very strange.

Just for the records. After updating my texlive-base to the
problematic version I found in my /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf a
message telling my that /etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-base.cnf was
neglected because when building it, because of a missing file in
/var/lib/tex-common/fmtutil-cnf . Running update-fmtutil another time
corrected my fmtutil.cnf and now fmtutil-sys can again generate the
format for tex.fmt.
Maybe we generate the fmtutil.cnf too early???

But in the build log we have:
Setting up texlive-base (2007.dfsg.2-1) ...
Running mktexlsr. This may take some time... done.
Building format(s) --all.
This may take some time... done.
Bummer ... Uaaaaaa ... the call to
update-fmtutil
is suddenly missing in the postinst ...
going back to tex-common fixing that ... BUMMER..
Rebuild versions will be uploaded tonight.
Thanks Hilmar for finding that
Best wishes

This is a bug in tex-common which carried over to texlive-base, fixed in
an upload tonight.

Correct, but this this doesn't help in any way if fmtutil.cnf is
broken.

You're not only fast when implementing things, buth with fixing too.

Exactly. Therefore I was wondering why it didn't happen. Anyway: I
can're reproduce it. Forget about this unless anynody else complains.
