Comment(by dports@…):

 Replying to [comment:15 vinc17@…]:
 > So, it seems that xetex moved from texlive-bin to texlive-xetex. The
 partial install could be the source of the problem, like with the
 hyphenation.


 Yes, basically. (To be precise: xetex is still *built* by texlive-bin, but
 because it's not usable without texlive-xetex, it doesn't get installed
 into $prefix/bin until texlive-xetex creates the symlink.)

 In the end this should be harmless. What will happen when you upgrade from
 texlive 2009 to 2010 is the following:

  * updating texlive-bin will remove some of the existing binaries (xetex,
 aleph, etc) from $prefix/bin
  * after updating texlive-basic, fmtutil will be rerun to generate all
 formats. Not all will succeed, because the binaries for xetex, aleph, etc.
 aren't present. You should get approximately the same set of errors you
 posted above.
  * after texlive-xetex gets updated, fmtutil will be rerun to generate
 xetex formats. Since xetex now exists, it should succeed.
  * same for texlive-context, texlive-metapost, texlive-omega, etc.

 Once all installed texlive ports have been upgraded, all formats should be
 successfully updated. If you were to run `sudo fmtutil-sys --all`
 afterwards (though you shouldn't need to do so), you shouldn't get any
 errors. If that's not the case, let me know!
