Hi Norbert and Frank,

BTW, on my debian system, i see this:

$ strace kpsewhich plain 2>&1 | grep texmf.cnf
access("/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf", R_OK) = 0
stat("/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=25275, ...}) = 0
access("/usr/share/texmf-texlive/web2c/texmf.cnf", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf", O_RDONLY) = 3

i wonder, why is /usr/share/texmf-texlive/web2c/texmf.cnf being searched?

is it because of a compile-time default for TEXMFCNF?

Best,
v.
