Package: texlive-context Version: 2005.dfsg.3-1 Severity: important This minimal test.tex ConTeXt example fails when run with 'texexec --pdf test.tex' (in Debian 'etch'):
\starttext \input tufte \stoptext Here is the first error (the remainder are similar): kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmr12 mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input ec-lmr12 This is METAFONT, Version 2.71828 (Web2C 7.5.5) kpathsea: Running mktexmf ec-lmr12 ! I can't find file `ec-lmr12'. <*> ...ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input ec-lmr12 Installing 'lmodern' fixes the errors, because it provides those missing tfm files. So texlive-context should depend on lmodern, not merely recommend lmodern. Without lmodern, I think the package is totally unusable. My only worry about this bug report -- and the reason that I did not mark it 'severe' -- is that it is /such/ a severe bug. So I wonder why I (or others) never noticed it before. Did something change that made lmodern required all of a sudden? Or am I not understanding something? This machine runs Ubuntu feisty (i686), but I ran the above tests in a pbuilder Debian 'etch' chroot. I did 'sudo pbuilder login' (I think it already had the etch security updates), then 'apt-get install texlive-context'. Then I ran that test file, found that it failed, did 'apt-get install lmodern', and reran it with success. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.20-16-generic Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Versions of packages texlive-context depends on: ii libxml-parser-perl 2.34-4.2 Perl module for parsing XML files ii perl-tk 1:804.027-7 Perl module providing the Tk graph ii texlive-base 2005.dfsg.3-1 TeX Live: Essential programs and f ii texlive-common 2005.dfsg.3-1 TeX Live: Base component ii texlive-metapost 2005.dfsg.2-12 TeX Live: MetaPost (and Metafont) ii texlive-pdfetex 2005.dfsg.2-12 TeX Live: pdfTeX texlive-context recommends no packages.
