Which most recent update are you talking about? Could you please
add the output of mkluatexfontdb -V ?

How do you use luaotfload? Plain or Latex? With fontspec? Could
you please post a minimal example that triggers the error with
fonts that are on CTAN? Thank you.

Probably an incorrect “file:” lookup.

Sorry, no idea. Maybe you need to pass it to texlua?

Again, which version?
