Description

System
  • xuname:
    Void 5.10.15_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rrFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

  • package:
    texlive-ConTeXt-20200406_7

Expected behavior

context --version (from the texlive-ConTeXt package) should print something like this (obtained with the texlive-bin package):

mtx-context     | ConTeXt Process Management 1.03
mtx-context     |
mtx-context     | main context file: /opt/texlive/2020/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv
mtx-context     | current version: 2020.03.10 14:44
mtx-context     | main context file: /opt/texlive/2020/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkxl
mtx-context     | current version: 2020.03.10 14:44
Actual behavior

If texlive-LuaTeX is not installed, it prints:

/usr/bin/env: ‘texlua’: No such file or directory

If texlive-LuaTeX is installed, it prints:

mtxrun          | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'

Research direction

Inspect the texlive-ConTeXt package definition and its relationship with texlive-LuaTeX and texlive-bin. First reproduce the issue with context --version with and without texlive-LuaTeX; done means the command prints ConTeXt version information instead of either reported error.
