I noticed the logs suggested this file should be attached (it mentions a missing libkpathsea.so)

fmtutil: running `luatex -ini -jobname=luatex -progname=luatex luatex.ini' ...
luatex: error while loading shared libraries: libkpathsea.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is not my bug. My bug is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tex-common/+bug/1311032

I changed from Confirmed back to New
