Unfortunately, this doesn't solve my problem: I get the same "Fatal
format file error" when I call luatex after trying each of the following
(with appropriate privileges).
1. removing $TEXMFSYSCONFIG/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex
2. running `tlmgr paper letter` then removing
$TEXMFSYSCONFIG/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex
3. running `tlmgr paper letter` then moving
$TEXMFSYSCONFIG/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex to
$TEXMFDIST/tex/generic/tex-ini-files/pdftexconfig.tex
I notice that the original file in
$TEXMFDIST/tex/generic/tex-ini-files/pdftexconfig.tex doesn't change when
I run `tlmgr paper letter` (with appropriate privileges): here, the paper
size remains A4; I dunno whether this is what's supposed to happen.
My next step will be to reinstall TL'16.
