Thanks for testing texlive-2017.

The abs_path header messages are harmless post-build diagnostics by 
Fink. They won't affect the functioning of texlive.

I also see the fmtutil [ERROR] messages with the above command, but I 
don't know how to force texconfig/fmtutil to explicitly use -sys or 
-user mode without needing `sudo texconfig-sys`. Debian has some patch 
to force user mode, but it's fairly complex and has several Debian 
specific bits in it that I won't know how to ignore.
