I don't have these files at this place, but in
	/opt/local/etc/texmf/
I do have 
	/opt/local/etc/texmf/texmf.cnf
	/opt/local/etc/texmf/texmfcnf.lua
the first one being created automatically when I tried to do mtxrun --generate after installing TeXLive2020. Ir says its content should not be modified directly and that its content is based on of the file
	/opt/local/etc/texmf/texmf.cnf.d
The content of the above directory dates from 2019, and maybe that is why my logfile reports things being done with TeXLive2019. 

The content of the file 
	/opt/local/etc/texmf/texmfcnf.lua
is written by Hans in date = "2012-05-24" time = "12-12-12".

Replacing /opt/local/etc/texmf/texmf.cnf with some other texmf.cnf does not help, since it is overwritten when one does 
	mtxrun --generate

So the problem remains… Maybe I have to contact people who prepare MacTeX2020 and ask for help with them.

Thank you agin for your time and advices.
Best regards: Otared
