To keep track of config change, in particular since my config can be
a bit complex. I currently have:

  typeset -TUx MY_TEXINPUTS my_texinputs
  my_texinputs=($HOME/{wd/,}tex/{figures,inputs} \
                {$HOME,/usr/local}/share/texmf/tex//)
  [[ -e /etc/debian_version ]] &&
    [[ $(sed -n 's/^\\def\\fileversion{\(.*\)}.*/\1/p' \
         /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/listings/listings.sty \
         2> /dev/null) == 1.5e ]] &&
    my_texinputs=($HOME/wd/tex/inputs/fixed-listings $my_texinputs)
  my_texinputs=(. $my_texinputs)
  export TEXINPUTS=$MY_TEXINPUTS:$TEXINPUTS

So, with the recent upgrade, I could see that TEXINPUTS changed,
the reason being that listings.sty changed, and it is actually
fixed (I've just closed bug 752773).

At the same time, I saw that the version information disappeared.
