Hi archers! On 2011-09-15 TexLive was upgraded (see [1]). Initially I had no problems, but in the following days there had been two subsequent upgrades of texlive-bin, the last of wich yesterday (or today, last time I upgraded was two days ago), that caused errors. In both cases, the error was the same: (5/5) upgrading texlive-bin [##################################################] 100%
texlive: updating the filename database... mktexlsr: Updating /etc/texmf/ls-R... mktexlsr: Updating /usr/share/texmf/ls-R... mktexlsr: Updating /usr/share/texmf-dist/ls-R... mktexlsr: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R... mktexlsr: Done. recreating all formats...Error: `eptex -ini -jobname=eptex -progname=eptex *eptex.ini' failed
############################################### fmtutil: Error! Not all formats have been built successfully. Visit the log files in directory /var/lib/texmf/web2c for details. ################################################## This is a summary of all `failed' messages: `eptex -ini -jobname=eptex -progname=eptex *eptex.ini' failed done. (logs are under /var/lib/texmf/web2c/<engine>/<formatname>.log) Since errors were somewhat expected in non-fresh install [2], the first time I solved reinstalling everything. However, on the last texlive-bin upgrade (texlive-bin-2011.1-3-i686) the error showed up again, as I stated. To me it's odd that I have to reinstall all texlive-most and texlive-lang on every update, but on the bug report there is no workaround provided. I googled but I didn't find anything, and searching on the forum returned no hits. So, I wonder if anyone had the same problem and if there is a solution (apart from reinstalling texlive-most and texlive-lang...). Thank you!
