Hello,
I'm having some problems using texlive after the recent tex-team merge.
On my system (with texlive installed in a profile, together with many
other packages) the tools complain about 'lualatex.fmt', 'pdflatex.fmt',
etc. missing. Before the merge I have been using texlive without ever
experiencing such problems.

I tried to reduce it to a small, reproducible example using
`guix shell -C`. Surprisingly, now I managed to compile this document
inside a container. But also surprisingly, it took very long to do so.
Also, lualatex automatically created a directory named '{' in the
current working directory.

These files are provided by the `texlive-latex-bin' package. Your
profile should probably contain `texlive-collection-latex' to get it
along with some very important LaTeX packages.
Would you want to share the TeX Live packages you listed in your
profile?

These two issues were reported in another bug report. Unfortunately, at
the moment, I do not know where they do come from.
Concerning the second issue, the "{" directory, I do know that
monolithic TeX Live modifies "texmfcnf.lua" (see `texlive-texmf'
package) whereas modular TeX Live (in `texlive-luatex' package) doesn't.
I think this "texmfcnf.lua" file should be modified in a proper way to
fix this issue, but I don't know how.
Regards,

Firstly, I apologize — I started replying in the other issue and
neglected this conversation without providing the extra info you asked
for to help me.

This part of the problem was purely my fault — I updated the profile
with new texlive but some shells were still using the old set of
environment variables for this profile. Sorry about that!

I've been using just `texlive` (which seemed to be *the* package for
people who just want to have things work out of the box and don't care
much about saving space/bandwidth). Sorry for not making this clear
enough.
Since this is a duplicate, I'll continue the discussion in #64772
