Bug#1036891: texlive-binaries: Error "attempt to call method 'read' (a nil value)" makes lualatex unusable



Package: texlive-binaries
Version: 2018.20181218.49446-1+deb10u1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

(not sure if this bug report should be against texlive-luatex or
texlive-binaries...)

I upgraded texlive-binaries (and other related packages) from
2018.20181218.49446-1 to 2018.20181218.49446-1+deb10u1 on a Debian
Buster. Since then, I cannot use lualatex because of an error.

Here is how to reproduce the problem (I used Docker with `docker run -it
debian:buster`):
```
apt update
apt install texlive-latex-base texlive-luatex
cd
cat > test.tex <<EOF
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
foo
\end{document}
EOF
lualatex test.tex
```
And I get the following output:
```
This is LuaTeX, Version 1.07.0 (TeX Live 2019/dev/Debian)
 restricted system commands enabled.
(./test.tex

  \documentclass{article}

```

Some remarks:
- it works as expected with version 2018.20181218.49446-1 (tested by removing
  buster/updates from sources.list)
- it works as expected as long as I don't install texlive-luatex
- I didn't test with Debian stable / testing / unstable


Thanks,

Philippe.
