Thanks Aditya,

this is a typo in the email only.

This works when I regenerate the file database (which I forgot before).

I tried this and then I had a blank reference list. I thought the reason was that context did not find the file but now I realise this is not the case. I'm trying to figure out what happens.

This is strange: When I setup a list with

  \setuppublications[alternative=apa]

I get a blank reference list.

When I use this (non existent file) line instead

  \setuppublications[alternative=not-existing]

context complains about not finding bibl-not-existing but I get a reference list! I'll try with a minimal example.
