Ah, I see, there were some major changes after 2.99.7 that I haven't
introduced into my texmf.cnf.  I did not expect any changes and did
not check for them.  I will have a careful look into this.

To be bold, this unbelievable flexibility confuses me.  I am wondering
what the plusses are to have a more complex texmf.cnf than say, for
root

  CONFIG:   /etc/texmf/
  STATIC:   /usr/share/texmf/
  DYNAMIC:  /var/lib/texmf/

and for users

  FONTS:    /var/cache/fonts/

Then duplicate the lot for the user's $HOME directory.

I have not yet, as a packager nor as user, felt the need for much more
than that.

Jan.
