Unless you don't need the latest stuff unconditionally, it's
sufficient to stick with the Debian packages.  Most of the confusion
originated from that fact that you have two TeX installations at the
same time on your system.

TeXworks is a different thing.  For the time being it's more helpful
to run TeX from the command line until the Lucida problems are solved.

I suppose that Debian provided a pre-configured TeXworks but you
changed path in order to support /usr/local/texlive/2017.  The easiest
way to get back to the Debian defaults is to steal the TeXworks
configuration from your wife's machine.  I don't know why TeXworks
needs to be configured at all.  Emacs/AUCTeX just invokes the binaries
found in PATH.

Don't know what you've changed.  It's most sensible to rearrange the
directory structure so that it matches the one originally provided by
Debian and redo the changes you've made to the config files.
