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.
