tex-live Digest, Vol 207, Issue 34

Sat Apr 11 18:16:38 CEST 2020

Thank you very much for your support.
The .sty file is called poliphd.sty. Here are the steps to reproduce the
issue:
1) put poliphd.sty inside C:/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/local/
2) run mktexlsr (it will successfully complete its job)
3) use the poliphd package inside a document and compile it

here is the error I get

pdflatex report
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.21 (TeX Live 2020/W32TeX)
(preloaded format=pdflatex)

! LaTeX Error: File `poliphd.sty' not found.

Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: sty)

Enter file name:

The interesting thing is that putting poliphd.sty file inside the home
texmf directory (~/texmf/tex/latex/),
the compiler can find the document without any issue.

Best wishes,
Manuel
