Comment # 7 on bug 1176557 from G.M. Venekamp

I just finished a zypper dup and I am now on:

# cat /etc/os-release 
NAME="openSUSE Tumbleweed"
# VERSION="20200923"

Testing a LaTeX document fails with the same error again.

LC_ALL=C lualatex sram-for-u2connect.tex 
This is LuaHBTeX, Version 1.12.0 (TeX Live 2020/TeX Live for SUSE Linux) 
 restricted system commands enabled.

---! lualatex.fmt was written by luatex
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)

This is what I have after zypper dup:

> ll /usr/bin/lualatex
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Sep 23 21:19 /usr/bin/lualatex -> luahbtex

Applying your suggested fix:

# ln -sf luatex /usr/bin/lualatex

The LaTeX document compiles again.


LuaHBTeX is apparently something new and improves hte shaping of various
scripts. Some info can be found here:
