Normal weekly updating and dev-tex/biblatex has been stuck on
Code:
luaotfload | db : Font names database not found, generating new one.
luaotfload | db : This can take several minutes; please be patient.
going on 20 minutes now on an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X. Is this normal to take so long? I've never seen it before.

I found a suggestion searching the web to run
Code:
luaotfload-tool -v -vvv -u

and it's getting stuck on
Code:
luaotfload | db : Loading font /usr/share/fonts/iosevka/IosevkaCurly.ttc

I use iosevka, so I'd hate to have to remove it. Is there a way to work around this? What I found suggested adding to a luaotfload-blacklist.cnf file, but I can't find one and don't know where it would go.
