[tex-live] night update: fmtutil failure

[Victor Ivrii]

1) On several computers (all running MacTeX 2013) this night update
resulted in


fmtutil: Error! Not all formats have been built successfully.
Visit the log files in directory
  /usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-var/web2c
for details.

This is a summary of all `failed' messages:
`pdftex -ini  -jobname=eplain -progname=eplain -translate-file=cp227.tcx
*eplain.ini' failed



2. Attempts to run

(sudo) fmtutil --byengine pdftex --byfmt eplain

resulted in the same error:

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.5-1.40.14 (TeX Live 2013) (INITEX)
 restricted \write18 enabled.
 (/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/web2c/cp227.tcx)
entering extended mode
(/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/tex/eplain/eplain.ini
! I can't find file `bplain'.
l.3 \input bplain

(Press Enter to retry, or Control-D to exit)
Please type another input file name:
! Emergency stop.
l.3 \input bplain

No pages of output.
Transcript written on eplain.log.
Error: `pdftex -ini  -jobname=eplain -progname=eplain
-translate-file=cp227.tcx *eplain.ini' failed


(ditto for fmtutil-sys)

3. Funny enough replacing eplain by bplain produced no error
