That is very strange ... do you have any files in<br>> /etc/texmf/fmt.d/<br>> ???<br>> If not then something is seriously messed up on your system. There should<br>> be several files!!!<br>> <br><br>Yes, there are files:<br><br>00tex.cnf<br>10texlive-base.cnf.dpkg-new<br>50cyrtexinfo.cnf<br><br>Hang on...<br><br>WHY is there a .dpkg-new file, but NOT the original config file?<br><br>++++ CURSES ON DPKG!!! ++++<br><br>Seems like /etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-base.cnf belongs to multiple packages,<br>and dkpg refused to override one with the other, but somehow the original<br>file got LOST??? Why did dkpg NOT TELL ME THIS???<br><br>Anyway: the 10texlive-base.cnf contains all sensible values. I renamed the<br>file, ran update-fmtutil, and everything runs smoothly now.<br><br>I blame dpkg for not telling me the mess with the config files.<br><br>Again, thanks heaps for your support!<br><br>- Winston<br><br></div> </div></body>
