Hi Knut,

> There definitely was no old format file in the cwd or somewhere else in or below $HOME, it really were outdated fmtutil.cnf / lualatex.fmt in the texmf tree. I agree that an error in the update process is a case for a bugreport to openSuSE.

Ok.

Why the fmtutil.cnf was outdated, that is again a question for the
OpenSUSE Team, not us.

That doesn't work, well, it should actually

You seem to have some env variables set that makes fmtutil believe that
it is running in sysmode.

Do you have
	TEXMVAR=$TEXMFSYSVAR
?

Because the **link** from
	lualatex -> luahbtex
is probably there, but the format definition is wrong. That does not go
well together.

THat is all not a good idea, why not do
	sudo fmtutil-sys --byfmt lualatex
?

Best
