The log fi8le is OK ... only the version of the dumped format 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.17 does not fit the version of the binary its self 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.18 ... run as root fmtutil-sys --byfmt pdflatex and recheck the version in the very first line of the log file /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex/pdflatex.log ... Beside this the hyph-utf8 tree includes the UTF-8 hyphen pattern and UTF-8 is nowadays the common standard.
