Public bug reported:
After I upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04, I can no longer convert latex
generated .dvi files into .ps using
dvips -Pcmz -t letter doc.dvi
or (equivalent)
dvips -P cmz -t letter doc.dvi
It says:
$ dvips -Pcmz -t letter applchar_main.dvi
dvips: warning: no config file for `cmz'

dvips resides in the 'texlive-binaries' ('texlive-binaries-2009-5ubuntu0.1')
(launchpad calls it 'texlive-bin') package.
$ ls -l /usr/bin/dvips
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 193088 2010-05-03 18:56 /usr/bin/dvips
My intended workflow is:
$ latex doc.tex
$ latex doc.tex
$ bibtex doc.aux
$ latex doc.tex
$ dvips -Pcmz -t letter doc.dvi
$ ps2pdf -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -dEmbedAllFonts=true doc.ps
(Why this -P option can be necessary, see e.g. the USENIX tips to produce a
suitable .pdf from latex at
http://www.usenix.org/events/samples/latex_tips.html (last bullet))
It seems a complete directory including the file config.cmz is no longer
present in 10.04 (x86-64).
The site packages.ubuntu.com confirms that this is not a simple matter of
installing the right pkg.
I tried to copy the file from 9.10, but I couldn't solve it that way.
I couldn't find a similar bug report.
Is there some replacement / work-around?
