TEXMF={/local,/main}
Yes indeed, the default TEXMF is:
{$HOMETEXMF,!!$VARTEXMF,$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMAIN}
/local/pdftex/foo.map
/main/dvips/foo.map
then the *second* and not the first file is found.
Really? Because of the relative locations of pdftex and dvips in the
lower components of the path? That seems like a bug in the path
searching.
I think this is another good example why search paths should be *simple*.
I don't think anyone is arguing the principle.
Meanwhile, I'm afraid I still don't understand the problem or the
remedy, since Staszek said the text I posted, based on Thomas's email,
was wrong.
