Are you sure that the user you tried with is in the "users" group? An ordinary new Debian user is only in the group named after his username. Here it works: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ groups frank dialout cdrom floppy audio src video plugdev staff users [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mktexlsr mktexlsr: Updating /home/frank/texmf/ls-R... mktexlsr: Updating /home/frank/.texmf-config/ls-R... mktexlsr: Updating /home/frank/.texmf-var/ls-R... mktexlsr: Updating /usr/local/share/texmf/ls-R... mktexlsr: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXMFMAIN... mktexlsr: Updating /var/cache/fonts/ls-R... mktexlsr: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R... mktexlsr: Done.
