Can you test the latest version from AUR.
It is possible that the earlier build sometimes ended up creating a
$HOME/texmf-cache directory as root. If that happened, you will need to
forcably remove $HOME/texmf-cache before reinstalling the package.
For those who are interested, this is what was happening. If you set
TEXMFCACHE to a non-existing directory and run texexec --make cont-en, it
asks you if you want to create the TEXMFCACHE directory (even though it is
not needed to create the format for pdftex). pacman hides this question
(don't know why), so it appeared that the program had hung. If you pressed
enter twice (answering texexec's questions as no), the install proceeded
as expected. I am getting around this by creating an empty directory in
/opt/context-minimals/tex/texmf-cache but setting the TEXMFCACHE to
$HOME/texmf-cache:/opt/context-minimals/texmf-cache Thus, texexec is happy
because it can /opt/context-minimals/texmf-cache exists, and when the user
runs luatools --generate for the first time, $HOME/texmf-cache gets
created with the owner as the user.
