And I assume the link target exists, as suggested by dlocate -L. So the
question is: Why does kpathsea not find the file? I think the answer
will be in 

kpsewhich texmf.cnf

which should be

/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf

while

ls -l /usr/share/texmf/web2c
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           20 2004-03-01 12:35 /usr/share/texmf/web2c -> /var/lib/texmf/web2c

Could you send us the contents of that file?

Regards, Frank
