Yes, this was the problem!
I had in my ./bashrc line

export TEXINPUTS='./:/home/boza/.texinputs/'

When I removed it pdflatex run as expected and:
$ kpsepath tex | sed 's/:/\n/g'
.
/home/boza/.texmf-config/tex/kpsewhich//
/home/boza/.texmf-var/tex/kpsewhich//
/home/boza/texmf/tex/kpsewhich//
/etc/texmf/tex/kpsewhich//

Thank you Florian for helping me. I would never find myself
what was the problem.

Just for clarification: I use tex something like  once in a year or two.
Last time I was experimenting with eval4tex and tex2page packages
so I added that line into .bashrc. Since it was long ago I did forget all
about it. And hence the problem now.
