Package: texlive-metapost Version: 2007.dfsg.1-2 Severity: normal I am trying to run metapost in metafont-compatible mode. The man page (man mpost) has the following to say about that:
mfplain.mp The Metafont-compatible mem file. This is loaded when virmp is invoked via a symbolic link as mfmp. The texlive-metapost package only includes mpost, not virmp, nor virmpost, nor are there any symbolic links to mfmp or mfmpost. And: There is also an mfplain.mem that simulates plain Metafont so that mpost can read .mf fonts. There is no such file mfplain.mem, nor is there the convenient inimpost command that could generate such a file. -- Package-specific info: If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries (latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the error in your report. Don't forget to also include minimal examples of other files that are needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures! If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem), you can probably minimize it further. Instructions on how to do that can be found at http://www.latex-einfuehrung.de/mini-en.html (english) or http://www.latex-einfuehrung.de/mini.html (german) ################################## minimal input file ################################## other files ###################################### List of ls-R files -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 890 2007-12-24 17:28 /var/lib/texmf/ls-R lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 2007-11-24 09:52 /usr/share/texmf/ls-R -> /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXMFMAIN lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 2007-11-04 11:11 /usr/share/texmf-texlive/ls-R -> /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXLIVE lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 2007-11-04 11:11 /usr/share/texmf-texlive/ls-R -> /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXLIVE ###################################### Config files lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2007-11-24 09:52 /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf -> /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4349 2007-12-24 17:28 /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7185 2007-12-24 17:28 /var/lib/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4292 2007-12-24 17:28 /var/lib/texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat ###################################### Files in /etc/texmf/web2c/ total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 283 2007-06-20 17:33 mktex.cnf ###################################### md5sums of texmf.d 42c20d7e8bd343542772b5a145bf8ad8 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf 5f7f6652cc8b8071c9e4ea6ba9e9f0a1 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/15Plain.cnf 8ed54ce13b2eed4871e03bdfdace9342 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/45TeXinputs.cnf ea33127256c6a9f37145ae5b16fdb80c /etc/texmf/texmf.d/55Fonts.cnf afccf1d3f87057411166a77c58e00bd1 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/65BibTeX.cnf 9da7c1c7b1eaf06f941af91f48a23068 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/75DviPS.cnf 7ae52efac46feb97010986e57877d12e /etc/texmf/texmf.d/80DVIPDFMx.cnf 8fee79ccdd5d1f56b1563dabfd53c717 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/85Misc.cnf a8952d594677235951d447665ec46e9c /etc/texmf/texmf.d/90TeXDoc.cnf 30f4f13357c2761ed01a6a15f28725a5 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/95NonPath.cnf -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages texlive-metapost depends on: ii libc6 2.7-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libkpathsea4 2007.dfsg.1-2 TeX Live: path search library for ii texlive-base 2007-13 TeX Live: Essential programs and f ii texlive-common 2007-13 TeX Live: Base component Versions of packages texlive-metapost recommends: ii feynmf 1.08-4 set of LaTeX macros for creating F ii texlive-metapost-doc 2007.dfsg.1-2 TeX Live: Documentation files for Versions of packages tex-common depends on: ii debconf 1.5.17 Debian configuration management sy ii ucf 3.004 Update Configuration File: preserv Versions of packages texlive-metapost is related to: pn tetex-base <none> (no description available) pn tetex-bin <none> (no description available) pn tetex-extra <none> (no description available) ii tex-common 1.10 common infrastructure for building -- debconf information: tex-common/check_texmf_wrong: tex-common/check_texmf_missing: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
