I just installed kubuntu 13.10, and ran into exactly the same failure. I removed ALL texmf files, and reinstalled from scratch. Same failure. Removed and reinstalled with "install-tl-ubuntu" and get the same failure.
Perhaps someone can point me at where I can find a working copy of tlmgr? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1242914 Title: tlmgr unable to set up TLPDB To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/texlive-base/+bug/1242914/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
