Thanks Ben. I think you are right -- sorry about that. I didn't know that you need to start from clean of you change those settings.
But a fresh validate still fails, just differently. Tail of the log is below. There seem be two suspicious lines:
Package cmap Warning: pdftex not detected - exiting.
and later (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/doc/support/pedigree-perl/examples/english.cfg ! You can't use `macro parameter character #' in vertical mode. l.1 # An example configuration file for pedigree program No pages of output.
Hmm, judging from this [1] I would guess that this is a system configuration issue. Does your configuration set TEXINPUTS by any chance? Cheers, - Ben [1] https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/91284/error-in-english-cfg
