Has someone an idee what causes the unknown library message as in the log below? Is it harmful?

fonts > typescripts > unknown library 'loc'

you can add a file type-loc.mkiv someplace in your local tree with

% dummy file

\endinput

this file can be used for local overrides (just some mkii compatible feature). If this is the case, should not the the "dummy"-file be in the distribution! That way if somebody has local overrides they can modify it if needed, and the rest of have one lees message we need to worry, about?

It depends ... there are some more loc files, like cont-loc.mkiv and we don't ship these either. Normally users would put such files in texmf-local nowadays but in the past that tree has changes positions in texlive (loading order) so we make no assumptions i.e. it can even be in the main base path which in turn means that we need to make sure it doesn't get overwritten. Easier is probably to suppress the message (ugly but doable).
