I'll check again to make sure. But keep in mind this issue predates the official TeX Live installation . I've been using the distro prepackaged for a while. And yes. It's always been there. Sort of like, it came with the system :)

But even if there was a conflict, it wouldn't justify to be scanninp up everything viciously. 

So far I've had to move about 7-8 folders. About 6 of them are owned by root, the rest are owned by root but symlinked to user. 

And to top it off, after doing so, it didn't stop there, heck no, it also wanted to snoop in a folder with cache and headers. 

To be honest. I woudlnt' know what to make of it. If it's simply looking into the permissions of the directories first,  or the fact that it has a colon separated pattern. But. Then again. The other folders didn't have it. 

I'll let you know. 

Thank you Hraban
