Hi,

I have noticed that my local context update scripts were not always working correctly. In particular, the mtxrun and luatools file never got updated. The reason is the following.

When I run mtxrun --selfupdate I get

   mtxrun --selfupdate
   MTXrun | fileio: to be replaced old script
   /opt/experimental/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun
   MTXrun | fileio: using suffix based filetype 'texmfscripts'
   MTXrun | fileio: checking new script
   /opt/experimental/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/stubs/mswin/mtxrun.lua
   MTXrun | fileio: new script should come from scripts/context/lua

So, mtxrun is trying to replace mtxrun from the stubs directory. In fact, if I get the same result from

   luatools --locate mtxrun.lua
   /opt/experimental/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/stubs/mswin/mtxrun.lua

Something is wrong with the search logic as texmfstart also gets this wrong.

   texmfstart --locate mtxrun.lua
   /opt/experimental/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/stubs/mswin/mtxrun.lua%

However, kpsewhich works correctly.

   kpsewhich mtxrun.lua
   /opt/experimental/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtxrun.lua

Do others also get the same result? Any idea what is going wrong here?

Aditya
