texlive-binaries are *NOT* supposed to be used by itself. This package
is only here to provide the plain binaries build from the sourc.etar.gz
to separate arch-indep from arch-depend packages.

Hardly any of these programs will work in a normal way when only
texlive-binaries is installed.

Best wishes
