Good, at least that makes it clear why the formats in
/usr/share/texmf/web2c were found instead of the ones in
/var/lib/texmf. However, TEXMFCONFIG and TEXMFVAR should be something
else. What is the output of
grep '^[[:space:]]*TEXMF' /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf
grep '^[[:space:]]*TEXMF' /etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf
And
grep -A 1 -B 9 '^[[:space:]]*TEXMFCONFIG' /etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf
grep -A 1 -B 9 '^[[:space:]]*TEXMFCONFIG' /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf
grep -A 1 -B 7 '^[[:space:]]*TEXMFVAR' /etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf
grep -A 1 -B 7 '^[[:space:]]*TEXMFVAR' /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf
