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:

Hi,

what you reported is a different item, but please wait before opening
a new bug, because

 Workaround: I ran apt-get remove texlive-base, followed by an apt-get install

 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.

Thanks for your understanding

Norbert

I forgot to mention:


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)

I don't think this is likely as I tried this install several times, with the 
same error,
but it worked perfectly when I removed texlive-base and reinstalled from scratch


* you have yourself removed parts of the installed files
  (- nothing we can work around)

This did not happen as I run  debsums --all --changed --generate=missing 
nightly and
can see from the logfile from before the install that no texlive-* packages 
were affected


 * you have changed the confirguration in /etc/texmf/fmt.d/
  (- nothing we can work around, that is your responsibility)

As above, the fact that debsums did not flag this package shows there were no 
config
changes (+ the fact that I only did an apt-get remove texlive, so the following 
apt-get install
would have asked about overriding config files, which it did not).


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)?

One more thing I forgot to mention: I run a weekly backup of /etc, so it you 
think it would be helpful,

I can send you a gzip version of /etc/texmf/fmt.d  from a few days before the 
failed upgrade of texlive-base.


This would be the /etc/texmf/fmt.d that was in place at the time the 
texlive-base upgrade failed.

-- Package-specific info:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: We will only consider bug reports concerning
the packaging of TeX Live as relevant. If you have problems with
combination of packages in a LaTeX document, please consult your
local TeX User Group, the comp.text.tex user group, the author of
the original .sty file, or any other help resource. 

In particular, bugs that are related to up-upstream, i.e., neither
Debian nor TeX Live (upstream), but the original package authors,
will be closed immediately.

   *** The Debian TeX Team is *not* a LaTeX Help Desk ***

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.

Please run your example with
(pdf)latex -recorder ...
(or any other program that supports -recorder) and send us the generated
file with the extension .fls, it lists all the files loaded during
the run and can easily explain problems induced by outdated files in
your home directory.

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.minimalbeispiel.de/mini-en.html (english)

-- Package-specific info:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: We will only consider bug reports concerning
the packaging of TeX Live as relevant. If you have problems with
combination of packages in a LaTeX document, please consult your
local TeX User Group, the comp.text.tex user group, the author of
the original .sty file, or any other help resource. 

In particular, bugs that are related to up-upstream, i.e., neither
Debian nor TeX Live (upstream), but the original package authors,
will be closed immediately.

   *** The Debian TeX Team is *not* a LaTeX Help Desk ***

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.

Please run your example with
    (pdf)latex -recorder ...
(or any other program that supports -recorder) and send us the generated
file with the extension .fls, it lists all the files loaded during
the run and can easily explain problems induced by outdated files in
your home directory.

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

Hi,

 Package: texlive-base
 Followup-For: Bug #673022
 

 During an upgrade texlive-base:all 2013.20140123-1 2013.20140314-1,
 I got the same error as reported in this bug, so that texlive-base,
 and all packages dependent on it, failed to get configured:
 
No, this is a new issue. Please open a new bug for it. Could you try
if installing texlive-omega solves your problem?

Hi,

what you reported is a different item, but please wait before opening
a new bug, because

 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.

Thanks for your understanding

Norbert
