Thanks for everyone looking into this problem. As I said in another
email, the problem was solved by building packages from Debian Unstable
which provided a newer version.
Regards
Johann

Unfortunately I saw your email only after building and installing
texlive packages from Debian Sid sources which provided

I think p >> 0.999 that native (platform/TTF/OTF/whatever>) fonts are being
used. There is no reason why the behaviour of -- or --- should suddenly
change if TFM-based fonts (shudder) are used.

No, -- and --- are handled by tfm in traditional TeX, in XeTeX it is
handled by the teckit mapping. The keywords are either Mapping=tex-text or
Ligatures=TeX. I have not examined the packages in depth but it may be
added automaticaly. The mapping is defined in file
You could try updating (tuenc is 2017/01/24 v2.0c in the current
release) but I don't think it's likely to be a macro issue ---
ligatures are handled by tfm metrics or the tex-text mapping depending
on the font type. Others on this list would be better able to suggest
ways of debugging a failure

It should work
\documentclass{article}
\listfiles
\usepackage{fontspec}
\begin{document}
a---b
\end{document}
makes an emdash for me with current texlive.
If you have an example that fails can you show log from such a test
(\listfiles makes a list of package versions at the end of the log)
I suspect it was after the last update of texlive (now 2016.20170123-2)
on my Debian Testing system that it happened that
--- no longer compiles like \textemdash{}
and
-- no longer like \textendash{}
It stays as typed.
I do not want to go through all my files to change --- to \textemdash{}
etc.
