Please, provide any comments you want.
What you have reported there is not a bug. After installing ConTeXt, you
need to run (luatools --generate) as a normal user; only then mtx-contex.lua
will be found.
The need to run "luatools --generate" is not sufficiently
visible (it is in README.MarkIV). Any package that requires
user configuration steps should have a mechanism to inform
the user that such steps are required. I suspect the damage
was already done by the time the OP tried "luatools --generate" ,
and was perhaps made worse by running the command from
a root prompt.
In your case, running luatools --generate does not help, and that is the
bug.
You are right, but with a system like context it is sometimes better to
avoid stressing the tools by following standard procedures.
The OP ended up with /etc/texmf/web2c/pdftex, which suggests that
MkII and/or fmtutil tried to install formats under /etc/texmf/web2c. It may
be too much to expect luatools to recover when things are not where they
belong and files under $HOME are not owned by the user.
Thanks George of confirming the bug.
In my opinion, the context package has to be ready for running. No
intervention of user should be needed. For the other hand, I have
problems running luatools, so we have a bug: or the first or the second.
Xan.
