What is the ownership of the actual files and ls-R files? I saw that
you use tlmgr via sudo which is not recommended. /usr/local/texlive
should be owned by you as a normal user and installation and updates
should be run by you without sudo. Once you run any action which
includes mktexlsr as root or via sudo, ld-R files will be owned by
root:root and only readable by world. If you then try to run mktexlsr
as you, the ls-R files will not be updated. If this is the case, just
change the ownersip of the files and rerun mktexlsr as you.
