Same happens for me. Problem is: /usr/bin/luatex refuses to start with the message:
Unable to read environment locale:exit now. strace luatex gives: openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/locale/en_AT.UTF-8/LC_NUMERIC", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/locale/en_AT.utf8/LC_NUMERIC", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/locale/en_AT/LC_NUMERIC", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/locale/en.UTF-8/LC_NUMERIC", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/locale/en.utf8/LC_NUMERIC", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/locale/en/LC_NUMERIC", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) write(2, "Unable to read environment local"..., 44Unable to read environment locale:exit now. ) = 44 exit_group(1) = ? This made my upgrade to BionicBeaver fail.
