[Bug 332167] Re: packages in ~/texmf should have priority over base system

[Niall Murphy]

You are right,  it does read the home directory first.

I figured out the problem was that for loading newer versions of files
over old ones, the files must be in the correct directory structure i.e.
"~/texmf/tex/latex".

I have just been putting files in "~/texmf/tex" and "~/texmf/bib" for
the past years.

perhaps i did not need to load newer versions of packages when using
tetex or tetex was more lax about this.

sorry for the irrelevant bug.
