Your Tex system seems to be broken. I am not sure, but TeX Live Utility 
might help because Manage package mode can show all packages with those 
you do and those you dont have in your system. Then you can try install 
them if needed. I just tried Tex Live Utility and it works very smoothly.

In any case, reinstall would not hurt much, if I were you.
