indeed, so you have a mismatch (do a recursive delete of the fmt files) and remake again
cd ~/texmf && rm -r *.fmt && texexec --make && texexec --version
Since that worked, the old formats must have been in ~/texmf itself (not in a subdirectory). Lucky! But if they are in a subdirectory, then "rm -r *.fmt" won't get rid of them. You'd instead want: cd ~/texmf && rm -f `find -name '*.fmt'` && etc. And it can be worse: my old ones were ~/.texmf-var/web2c/*.fmt -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.
