I think the package is inconsistent somehow, because it doesn't remove cleanly on my case sensitive system: dpkg - warning: while removing texlive-texmf, directory `/sw/share/texmf-dist/source/latex' not empty so not removed. and that contains mist:/sw/share/texmf-dist-162# ls source/latex/ 0 ./ 0 ../ 0 pagesLTS/ which contains mist:/sw/share/texmf-dist-163# ls source/latex/pagesLTS/ 0 ./ 0 ../ 4 pagesLTS.drv 216 pagesLTS.dtx 8 pagesLTS.ins Anyway, this isn't causing me any problems that I know of... > Now...I still have a texlive problem, but probably not due > to case sensitive files... > > kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag > 1+0/600 --dpi 600 eufm10 > mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for eufm10. > mktexpk: perhaps eufm10 is missing from the map file. > xdvi: Can't find pixel font eufm10; using cmr10 instead at > 600 dpi. > xdvi-motif(26380) malloc: *** error for object 0x100074b70: > pointer being freed was not allocated > *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug > > and xdvi then crashes.

Turns out it isn't deactivated in the distribution, but any updmap.cfg elsewhere on the system will overide the distributed one. I thought the one in /sw/etc/texmf-config was also installed by the package, because it had the same date. But dpkg-S shows that it isn't, so it must be generated or updated by the install. And it stays around even after removing texlive. So I removed it, and /sw/etc/texmf.local (and all local user copies), and reinstalled texlive. It regenerated /sw/etc/texmf-config (and texmf.local), and magically, the updmap.cfg in it now has the correct fonts activated... More importantly, all the font errors and warnings I've been getting for the past few months have gone :) I do not generally mess with my tex install, I have no idea how I ended up with that incorrect updmap.cfg. Maybe the original order things were installed was texlive before all the fonts were installed?? Anyway, I'm now happy, and hopefully this will help anyone else similarly afflicted by latex font issues. cheers, -- Viv ________________________________________________ Dr Viv Kendon http://quantum.leeds.ac.uk/~viv tel: +44 113 343 4864 Physics and Astronomy Quantum Information Group University of Leeds ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
