OK, but _it_ _should_ _not_ _be_ _there_. :)

So, I don't see any harm if we bail out when finding such a file, unless
of course you're 100% sure we won't find any "broken" installation with
a bad file in usr/share/texmf/web2c...

But I admit it is just a refinement, a safety net to ensure the various
TeX upgrades went fine.
