Something is different between your system and mine.
This might be worth investigating.  (But I won't have time for it!)

Perhaps you have a file somewhere that adds this other directory.  This is
my best guess.

It is also possible something was left over on my system from the previous
distro installation.  However I removed that installation with the dpkg
--purge command, which should have removed all settings files.  I didn't
alter any configuration files myself, I only tried (unsuccessfully) to run
context on some tex files.

As I had only turned context on a few times, and never done any
configuration, it is easy to reproduce my setup:  Start with the latest
Ubuntu, and install the 'context' package.
Then remove it with --purge, and follow your instructions to install the
recent 'context' in /opt.

Cheers!
