Since texlive was updated from 2008 to 2009 I am not able to produce any pdflatex/beamer documents. Even my old documents which had worked before don't compile anymore.

I allways get

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009/Arch Linux)
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)

I have attached an example file. I could reproduce this behaviour on different computers and architectures. I have texlive-most installed.
   test.tex (0.3 KiB)
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  fmtutil-sys --all now runs automatically during post-upgrade.

you need to run either
fmtutl-sys --all
or
fmtutil --all

My bad.
The following post-upgrade message was present in texlive-core,
but it was recently removed by mistake (http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/texlive-core/trunk/texlive.install?r1=47908&r2=49955).
" If updating from TeXLive 2008, it is advisable to rebuild the formats with"
" sudo fmtutil-sys --all"
The same problem occurred with the post-install scriptlet, from which "fmtutil-sys --all" has also been mistakenly removed.
This is now fixed in svn.
So as Eric wrote, you need to run "sudo fmtutil-sys --all" to recreate the formats.
