Whatever install_context.pl does, it seems to override PATH (another pdfetex on your system is found, not likely) or KPSE settings from /usr/local/teTeX/texmf.cnf in such a way that TeX stops working.
Probably it tries to do some guessing itself instead of relying on ???????? existing settings. What might influence this is that my setup separates the texmf part that is related to binaries (like pool files that change when binary versions change) and the stuff that is the fondation (like ConTeXt, LATeX, etc). /usr/local/teTeX/texmf.cnf starts with:
It does its utmost to get all its information from kpathsea. I find its integration with kpathsea its nicest feature.
% $VARTEXMF is where texconfig writes its local settings VARTEXMF = $TEXMFLOCAL
I would not like this. TEXMFLOCAL should survive through upgrades of the distribution, VARTEXMF should not.
If you send me the script I can have a quick look at it.
