This happened now two times on two different computers.

sudo fmtutil --byfmt xelatex gives me the following:

running `xetex -ini   -jobname=xelatex -progname=xelatex *xelatex.ini'  
...
! xetex.pool doesn't match; tangle me again (or fix the path).
Error: `xetex -ini  -jobname=xelatex -progname=xelatex *xelatex.ini'

This is a summary of all `failed' messages and warnings:
`xetex -ini  -jobname=xelatex -progname=xelatex *xelatex.ini' failed
