How to fix a break

How to fix a break

[hwitloc]

I'm getting "mtxrun          | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'"

on the three line
\starttext
This is the text section.
\stoptext

This is the TeXLive distributed version and it worked yesterday.  I'm pretty sure I messup up the paths or tex path database used by kpathse, etc.

Is there a program I can run to go through a texlive installation and rebuild the TDS database?

Thanks

mtxrun --generate

context runs quite independent of the texlive infrastructure; mtxrun is 
its own stub for instance and has its own file database; so, if 
'context' does not run, it's because either mtxrun (without suffix on 
unix) is not updated

if you see kpse being initialized (or any kpse related program being 
run) you're in trouble

I've faced the same issue with TeXLive 2012 on Fedora 18. It was fixed by
setting the PATH; for example

export TEXMF=/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist; export
TEXMFCNF=/usr/share/texlive/texmf/web2c; export TEXMFCACHE=/var/lib/texmf;
mtxrun --script context "$@"

Hans' advice to me to  run mtxrun fixed my problem and may it will yours as well.
Run:
$  mtxrun --generate

I also updated texlive 2012 after that.  with 
$  tlmgr update --all		# this takes a long time
