Hello list:
This is under a fresh TeXLive installation. Sort as to put aside any texlive
prepackaged issues.
And the followign lines is the output of the error I've been having with the
call of context on a recent texlive installation by both mtxrun --generate and
luatools --generate right after.
mtxrun --script cache --erase has also been called out to no avail
registered function call [1160]:

mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1
it doesn't matter either whatever the typescript name goes and whether is
type-lucida from texnansi-lucida-map file as it has been previously advised to
change the name from . makes no difference.
Is LuaLaTeX behaving the same way?
Answer: no.
The permission denied message happened first with folders whose permeissions
were not owned by the user, but the root, so I moved the files out of harm's
way to another folder . Anothr folder, NOT a subfolder.
Then the problem persisted to read folders and even subfolders (directories,
subdirectories) with cache filenames and headers that follow
So let's not get to apprehensive, It's understandable that say, not reasonable,
but understandable maybe? that mtxrun or lua for that matter will stop right
before.
So the folders were moved right after. Gone out of the binaries. But what I
can't understand is why would it try to access cache folders unrelated with
anything TeX or header folders for that matter????
This is perhaps more serious than I thought at first.
And Let's not blame the TeXLive pre-packaged running under Alpine Linux. To put
it in laymans' terms and If anything is clear to me, is that Alpine ir not
letting Lua running beserk on the system and its folders, owned by
whatever/whoever else, and with pesmissions set elsewhere.
It's out of the question. Or it rather be. This is all writh a fresh TeX Live
Installation.
I mentioned the problem that may arise by questioning the Alpine installation
because there were some problems with some binaries from the prepackaged TeX
Live put out by Alpine devs. But this is not prepackaged. Nope.
