The need to run "luatools --generate" is not sufficiently visible (it is in README.MarkIV). Any package that requires user configuration steps should have a mechanism to inform the user that such steps are required. I suspect the damage was already done by the time the OP tried "luatools --generate" , and was perhaps made worse by running the command from a root prompt. > In your case, running luatools --generate does not help, and that is the > bug. You are right, but with a system like context it is sometimes better to avoid stressing the tools by following standard procedures. The OP ended up with /etc/texmf/web2c/pdftex, which suggests that MkII and/or fmtutil tried to install formats under /etc/texmf/web2c. It may be too much to expect luatools to recover when things are not where they belong and files under $HOME are not owned by the user. -- George N.
