Package: context
Version: 2008.05.21-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


Trying to compile simple Hello World source
\starttext
Hello world.
\stoptext

shows the following error:

# context hello.tex 

MtxRun | error unable to identify cnf file
MtxRun | error unable to identify cnf file
MtxRun | no cnf files found (TEXMFCNF may not be set/known)
MtxRun | unknown script: context

Trying to solve the problem, I used the information from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV
and tried (note that I removed /home/benes/luatex-cache first)
# export TEXMFCNF=/etc/texmf
# luatools --generate
# context --make

With this I got a bit further
# context hello.tex

It seems that context (or luatex) is incorrectly configured (at least
it does not work out-of-the-box)

Now that I have uploaded a new Version of luatex to unstable that is
fixed.
