Yes, that's what I thought (I think I was told so by you in an earlier question ...)

No, it is in *both* trees (through the symlink), that's what makes this so strange to me.
And no matter which symlink I remove (so it can be found in both trees, only the latex tree or only the luatex tree), the result is the same.

And even more surprising: The situation is the same with the lyluatex file, which *is* found locally before in the distribution.
