There are none, it falls all back onto the Debian ones, which is me ;-)

I guess that some programs in texlive-extra-utils which is the same as
collection-binextra are necessary for texdoc to work.

Looking at the list, any of those rings a bell for your?
 bin/x86_64-linux/kpsepath
 bin/x86_64-linux/kpsetool
 bin/x86_64-linux/kpsewhere
 bin/x86_64-linux/kpsexpand
Those are only installed with collection-binextra (texlive-extra-utils).

The OP said that installing that packages fixed the search...

The mktexlsr should not be the problem, it is run at any time.

Best

Norbert
