Dear Karl,<br>
<br>
I do:<br>
<br>
$ ls -lh /usr/local/texlive/2023/texmfcnf.lua<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 524 Mar 27 12:17 /usr/local/texlive/2023/texmfcnf.lua<br>
<br>

<br>
I can:<br>
<br>
$ luametatex --version<br>
This is LuaMetaTeX, Version 2.10.07<br>
<br>
Execute 'luametatex --credits' for credits and version details.<br>

It does fail in new interesting ways:<br>

As stated, I can reproduce this on two different binary platforms and on<br>
both a netinstall of TeX Live and the texlive/texlive:latest Docker<br>
image. Seems global to me.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It is good practice to avoid running complex scripts as root unless absolutely</div><div>necessary.
