When I run luatools --generate (as normal user) there are no errors.

I don't have /etc/texmf/web2c/pdftex on my system.   On debian/ubuntu
/etc/texmf/web2c is for configuration files, but perhaps some program
tried to put formats and logs there instead of the proper /var/lib/texmf:

$ locate texmf/web2c/pdftex
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex/amstex.fmt
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex/amstex.log
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex/cont-en.fmt
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex/cont-en.log
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex/etex.fmt
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex/etex.log
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex/latex.fmt
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex/latex.log
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex/mptopdf.fmt
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex/mptopdf.log
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex/pdfetex.fmt
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex/pdfetex.log
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex/pdflatex.fmt
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex/pdflatex.log
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex/pdftex.fmt
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex/pdftex.log
