Okay. This is so exciting I just had to try :-)
I started out by purging my tetex and then doing `aptitude update &&
aptitude install texlive-latexrecemmended' and the a `fmtutil-sys
--all'.
1. `texlive-basic' conflicts with Debians `texinfo' package because
the file /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/dvips/epsf.tex is in both
packages (I just purged texinfo and proceeded).
2. Now I wanted to install `texlive-texinfo' but this conflicts with
Debians `info' packages because the file
/usr/share/man/man1/info.1.gz is in both packages (I just purged
info and proceeded).
3. My test document tried to generate some missing fonts, but failed
because `gsftopk' was missing (I then installed `texlive-binextra'
where it is present).
4. There is no /var/cache/fonts directory so generating of fonts
failed until I created one myself (writable ny all users).
5. I installed some more packages and at some point `fmtutil-sys
--all' stated to fail with:
This is a summary of all `failed' messages and warnings:
`aleph -ini -jobname=aleph -progname=aleph *aleph.ini' failed
`omega -ini -jobname=omega -progname=omega omega.ini' failed
This was before installing texlive-omega (which solved the problem)
and texlive-formatsextra.
6. mathpazo.sty is installed with the package `texlive-latex' but uses
some font stuff or something from `texlive-mathextra' (at least
with my test document).
7. My test document also fails with \usepackage{lmodern}. From the
missfont.log:
mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 ec-lmtt9
mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+57/600 --dpi 657 ec-lmtt10
mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 ec-lmtt9
mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+57/600 --dpi 657 ec-lmtt10
mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 ec-lmtt9
mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+57/600 --dpi 657 ec-lmtt10
I have now installed all the packages except for the locale
documentation packages and the language packages (texlive-langdanish
has been installed though) and so far I have not discovered problems
besides the above.
Good work, Norbert!
Kind regards,
