Bug#497782: texlive-base-bin: latex compilation fails as normal user

I can't find the format file `latex.fmt'! Running with sudo surprisingly does not fail. [...] I also noticed that using the front-end kile, I can compile the tex documents. Only the command line bugs. I have no explication of such a behaviour. You probably have some environment variables set in your shell which spoil your latex run. Try env -i latex file.tex and env | grep TEX Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Debian Developer (TeXLive) ADFC Miltenberg B90/Grüne KV Miltenberg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
