No - the fact that the installation (which runs as root) hints at a bad configuration in your user environment. What's the output of kpsewhich --engine=xetex --var-value=TEXFORMATS kpsewhich --engine=xetex --show-path='fmt' grep TEXFORMATS /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf grep TEXFORMATS /etc/texmf/texmf.d/* Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Debian Developer (teTeX/TeXLive)
