[tex-live] Has anything changed in the order TL searches for packages?

[Urs Liska]

Hm,

I have

    /etc/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
    /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c/texmf.cnf
    /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf

The first two only contain a reference to VARTEXFONTS, which is not what 
we're talking about.

The third one seems to be the same you quote.

    $env

doesn't return anything that seems to relate to TeX at all.

I had been at a loss right from the start, but it keeps getting stranger 
by the minute ...
