The only thing I have done over and above these (excellent) texlive-* packages is add a package I made myself with the Springer-Verlag Latex macros, which I understand debian cannot package as they provide no copyright information. Perhaps dealing with this unexpected package caused a problem (although it has never caused a problem with previous texlive-base upgrades)? => dpkg --status svjour Package: svjour Status: install ok installed Priority: extra Section: tex Installed-Size: 463 Maintainer: JS <jsh...@yahoo.com> Architecture: all Version: 3.1.0-5 Depends: texlive-binaries (>= 2009) Description: LaTex macros for all Springer journals Contains all the Springer LaTex macros ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/svjour3/ Homepage: http://www.springer.com/authors/journal+authors/faq+for+journal+authors?SGWID=0-1725015-0-0-0 This package was installed long ago and caused no problems for any previous texlive-base upgrade: 2012-08-12 12:15:33 status installed svjour:all 3.1.0-5 thanks, --jack ________________________________ From: JS <jsh...@yahoo.com> To: Norbert Preining <prein...@logic.at>; "673...@bugs.debian.org" <673...@bugs.debian.org> Sent: Monday, March 24, 2014 7:18 AM Subject: Re: Bug#673022: texlive-base: happened with upgrade to 2013.20140123-1 from 2013.20140314-1 Norbert, Yes, I do have texlive-omega installed; here are a few lines from dpkg.log showing it's been installed before this upgrade was made: 2014-02-03 20:57:28 upgrade texlive-omega:all 2013.20131112-1 2013.20131219-1 2014-02-03 21:08:07 configure texlive-omega:all 2013.20131219-1 <none> 2014-02-03 21:08:10 status installed texlive-omega:all 2013.20131219-1 2014-02-03 21:08:24 status installed texlive-omega:all 2013.20131219-1 2014-02-06 11:13:31 upgrade texlive-omega:all 2013.20131219-1 2013.20140123-1 2014-02-06 11:16:02 configure texlive-omega:all 2013.20140123-1 <none> 2014-02-06 11:16:05 status installed texlive-omega:all 2013.20140123-1 2014-02-06 11:16:19 status installed texlive-omega:all 2013.20140123-1 2014-03-23 11:03:39 remove texlive-omega:all 2013.20140123-1 <none> <<<<< removed only as part of apt-get remove texlive-base to fix install 2014-03-23 11:03:39 status installed texlive-omega:all 2013.20140123-1 2014-03-23 11:11:43 install texlive-omega:all 2013.20140123-1 2013.20140314-1 2014-03-23 11:14:37 configure texlive-omega:all 2013.20140314-1 <none> 2014-03-23 11:14:40 status installed texlive-omega:all 2013.20140314-1 thanks, --jack ________________________________ From: Norbert Preining <prein...@logic.at> To: js <jsh...@yahoo.com>; 673...@bugs.debian.org Sent: Monday, March 24, 2014 12:00 AM Subject: Re: Bug#673022: texlive-base: happened with upgrade to 2013.20140123-1 from 2013.20140314-1 Hi, what you reported is a different item, but please wait before opening a new bug, because .... On Sun, 23 Mar 2014, js wrote: > Workaround: I ran apt-get remove texlive-base, followed by an apt-get install > of texlive-base and all the other packages removed because of texlive-base. > This install from scratch,without a prior version of texlive-base, worked > fine. Well, then it is now impossible to reproduce, unless you have some more information about the former state: * did you have texlive-omega installed? * what was the content of /etc/texmf/fmt.d > I'll include the zipped file /tmp/fmtutil.3YhQeNol in the next email. Which barfs at: kpathsea: Running mkocp ebcdic.ocp otp2ocp: fatal: File 'ebcdic' not found. The file ebcdic.ocp is in texlive-omega, which also defines the aleph format. So the only ideas I have is: * you had a harddrive problme and parts ofthe installation got missing (-> nothing we can work around or do anything) * you have yourself removed parts of the installed files (-> nothing we can work around) * you have changed the confirguration in /etc/texmf/fmt.d/ (-> nothing we can work around, that is your responsibility) If you cannot give us a recipe to reproduce this error, or more information, I would close a new bug.
