How did that look like? We should find out how it came into them.

This is strange to me. You say the files do exist, but the debug log
ends with
kdebug:kpse_find_file: searching for texmf.cnf of type cnf (from compile-time paths.h)
kdebug:start search(files=[texmf.cnf], must_exist=0, find_all=0, path=/usr/share/texmf/web2c:/usr/share/texmf-texlive/web2c:/usr/local/share/texmf/web2c).
kdebug:kpse_normalize_path (/usr/share/texmf/web2c) => 1
kdebug:hash_lookup(texmf.cnf) => (nil)
kdebug:kpse_normalize_path (/usr/share/texmf-texlive/web2c) => 1
kdebug:hash_lookup(texmf.cnf) => (nil)
kdebug:kpse_normalize_path (/usr/local/share/texmf/web2c) => 1
kdebug:search([texmf.cnf]) =>
In the fourth line, the first one with kpse_lookup, I get
kdebug:hash_lookup(texmf.cnf) => /usr/share/texmf/web2c/
in other words the directory where it is. After that, it stops iterating
through the paths, and after some checking echoes
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
on stdout.
Is the file /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf readable?
Does anyone else have an idea what is going on?
