These files are provided by the `texlive-latex-bin' package. Your
profile should probably contain `texlive-collection-latex' to get it
along with some very important LaTeX packages.
Would you want to share the TeX Live packages you listed in your
profile?

These two issues were reported in another bug report. Unfortunately, at
the moment, I do not know where they do come from.
Concerning the second issue, the "{" directory, I do know that
monolithic TeX Live modifies "texmfcnf.lua" (see `texlive-texmf'
package) whereas modular TeX Live (in `texlive-luatex' package) doesn't.
I think this "texmfcnf.lua" file should be modified in a proper way to
fix this issue, but I don't know how.
