Lars, thank you for your reply.     

I Debian, daedalus. My installation procedure is:

	$ su -
	# mkdir /usr/local/share/TeXLive
        # cd  /usr/local/share/TeXLive
	# wget https://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/install-tl-unx.tar.gz
        # zcat < install-tl-unx.tar.gz | tar xf -
        # cd  install-tl-2*
	# ./install-tl

As the above suggests, I had root do the ñinstall, although the 
TeX system that I had working before ñwas installed by user.

In options:

        B set binary platforms
          i, Linux  on x6-86_64

        S set installation scheme: scheme-full
          a is default: everything

        C select copllections
          all are selected

        D set directories this sets direcxtories in /usr/local/texlive 
           except TEXMFVAR to /~.texlive and TEXMFHOME for user 
           specific files to ~/texmf

        O optiions
           P for letter size

I rab wutb both su - and as user

	$ tlmgr install luatexja-fontspec
	(running on Debian, switching to user mode!)
	(see /usr/share/doc/texlive-base/README.tlmgr-on-Debian.md)

	tlmgr: Local TeX Live (2022) is older than remote repository (2025).
	Cross release updates are only supported with
	  update-tlmgr-latest(.sh/.exe) --update
	See https://tug.org/texlive/upgrade.html for details.

	$ su -
	# tlmgr install luatexja-fontspec

When I do $ sudo echo $PATH LaTeX does not appear in the path, but
it never did.

When I process a file, a whole series of packages are not seen, 
including layouts and lipsum which should be present. 

! LaTeX Error: File `luatexja-fontspec.sty' not found.

No, this is on a fresh install of Debian. I have .texlive in my user 
directory. It is a directory that contains teexmf-var. I have 
/usr/local/texlive that contains 2025 texmf-local,

In ~.profile I have

  MANPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2025/texmf-dist/doc/man
  INFOPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2025/texmf-dist/doc/info
  PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2025/bin/x86_64-linux

The LaTeX problem is frustrating because it keeps me from work. I'm 
consdering removing the installation I did as root and reinstall as 
user.
