I can conform this bug. Problem seems to be that mathdesign, which provides the mdbchr font needed by arev, is not included in Ubuntu's packaging of texlive.
Debian also has the bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=397844 -- problem with arev in texlive-extra https://launchpad.net/bugs/86309 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
