It is hard to say without more information. You appear to have a /etc/texmf/web2c/pdftex directory. I suspect this directory was created erroneously when making formats, in which case it would contain .fmt and .log files. This may mean that one of the tools used to generate formats has a bug -- perhaps only triggered when run using the "root" account, which is usually disabled on ubuntu, but this is only conjecture. If you have current hardware with ample disk and RAM you could probably sort out the problem by installing a fresh Ubuntu in a VM, repeating the steps you took to get into this unhappy state but checking after each step to figure out exactly when the configuration goes astray. You can also experiment with various repair strategies to see what works before trying to repair your main installation. I actually tried this, and was not able to cause context to fail. Using "sudo luatools --generate" results in cache files that are owned by "root" but still readable by a regular user. Running luatools, fmtutil, etc. from "root" still didn't produce /etc/texmf/web2c/pdftex so I'm at a loss to figure out how that could happen. It would be nice to know how it happened so steps can be taken to prevent others from ending up in the same predicament. -- = George N.
