Hi all,
I assume from minimals install script that you need to generate the
format with mtxrun --generate --tree="xxx" --some --options but failed
at this point…
Maybe Mojca or Arthur (as authors of bin/mtx-update.lua) could complete?
Anyway, the post-install script packaged with that .deb doesn't seem to
do the job for you…
Ineed, we don't do this. What it the purpose of this command and how to call it?
Earlier, there were some troubles with ConTeXt MkIV working in a
multi-user setup (I don't know whether that is still the case or not).
Therefore, the user has to run mtxrun --generate. This step cannot be done
at the post-install stage; it has to be done manually by the user. So,
the best solution is to display a message to tell the user to run this
command manually (I do something similar for the context-minimals package
for archlinux that I maintain).
When running w/ option --generate I get:
hi...@sid:~ $ mtxrun --generate
MTXrun | resolvers: variable 'SELFAUTOLOC' set to '/usr/bin'
MTXrun | resolvers: variable 'SELFAUTODIR' set to '/usr'
MTXrun | resolvers: variable 'SELFAUTOPARENT' set to '.'
MTXrun | resolvers: variable 'TEXMFCNF' set to ''
This step is wrong (because the binary is in /usr/bin). Compare this with
what one gets in texlive:
'TEXMFCNF' set to
'{$SELFAUTODIR,$SELFAUTOPARENT}{{,/share,}/texmf{-local,.local}/web2c}'
Because of the wrong setting of TEXMFCNF mtxrun does not read texmfcnf.lua
file, and the rest of the command fails.
You can try
TEXMFCNF=/usr/share/texmf/web2c mtxrun --generate
and that should generate the database correctly.
I don't know what TEXMFCNF is being set incorrectly.
