luatools only scans trees with a ls-R database. For some reason mktexlsr 
only generates ls-R in /usr/local/share/texmf and /var/lib/texmf/

I was running mktexlsr without root permissions (thinking that ls-R will 
be only regenerated in TEXMFHOME. I was wrong).

I changed {texilve,tetex} to just texlive in texmf.cnf, but even now the 
format generating is not ok. Now I get,

This is not surprising since it is using 
/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-en.tex and not 
/home/adityam/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-en.tex

luatools cont-en.tex gives /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-en.tex 
so something went wrong with luatools --generate.

Since kpsewhich cont-en.tex gives the correct file while
luatools cont-en.tex gives the incorrect file, is this a bug with the 
inbuild search engine in luatools, or is there something wrong in my 
configuration?
