There's an issue here, Phil, about where and how Karljurgen got his distribution. If he got it through the Ubuntu aptitude system, or similar, then he'll have got the original first release of TL2010, without any of the updates that have been issued since its first release. The Ubuntu built-in distro of TL doesn't get regular, automatic updates. Basically, if you get your TL through the debian/aptitude pipeline, then you have one version of everything for a year, until TL2011 comes out. Using tlmgr means unintalling the whole TeXlive system from Ubuntu - using the aptitude interface. Then you have to reinstall everything again over the net (here <http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html>). It's not hard, but it's a bit daunting for beginners.
Hmm, maybe the TeX Live team need to be more pro-active in determining what can, and what cannot, be called "TeX Live". A user who gets TeX Live as a part of his O/S distribution should surely be entitled to believe that what he has is TeX Live, not some packager's variant thereof. ** Phil. -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
