So do I. Thank you so much all of you for your thorough answers to my 
main question. I keep my TEXMFHOME and have deleted its ls-R file which 
was most likely created several years ago, long before I started using 
texlive.

My second question remains unanswered. How can I append to the value of 
an assigned tex conf variable like TEXMFDBS? in case I should need to do so.

Best wishes,--
