Package: tetex-bin
Version: 3.0-29
Severity: normal

On my system, the command
  mktexpk --mfmode ljfour --bdpi 600 --mag 1+120/600 --dpi 720 lhr10
places the resulting file lhr10.720pk in the current working directory.
(The font lhr10 is a cyrillic version of cmr10, I think it belongs
to tetex-extra.)

At the same time, the same command with cmr10 in place of lhr10
places the result under ~/.texmf-var.

The difference between lhr10 and cmr10 is that I have lhr10.tfm
and some other lh* files under /var/lib/texmf (they were probably 
created by fmtutil since I use custom formats with these fonts).
"rm -rf /var/lib/texmf/fonts" fixes the problem.

I tried to debug it and found that one of the scripts (maketexnam)
finds lhr10.tfm under /var/lib/texmf but fails to recognize that
/var/lib/texmf is a "system" tree.

According to the analysis of Frank the bug occurs only if TEXMFSYSVAR
is not part of SYSTEXMF. Actually (TL 2007) TEXMFSYSVAR is part of
SYSTEXMF. The submitter confirmed that the problem disappears after
he purged his TeX installation removed every trace of TeX from his
system and re-installed TL.

-> Closing.

(Well, the version above is not correct: the files, which are used to
create texmf.cnf belong to tex-common).
