I know. What I meant is that when fmtutil runs automatically as part of
an install or PostInst script, it does not say which file it is using.
This is in contrast to updmap, for example, which fills the screen with
lists of its *.cfg and *.map files. And it is not clear whether the file
I get at the command line with kpsewhich is the same as the one used by
automatic fmtutil. Here, kpsewhich shows me the one in
/sw/share/texmf/web2c/, but I had to conclude from the install failure
that texlive-base's postinst script used the one in
/sw/share/texmf-dist/web2c/. The two are normally identical, but weren't
in my situation.

Again, there are several copies of texmf.cnf.
IMHO, this business of environment variables and config files is the one
area where TeX is severely brain damaged.
