Please test the latest version of TeXLive packages (0.6) at:

http://people.redhat.com/jnovy/files/texlive/

This is one of the final versions regarding the style set in texmf tree. Any
comments are welcome.

Comment 4 Jindrich Novy 2007-12-09 13:48:01 UTC
tetex is now obsoleted by texlive in rawhide.

Comment 5 Walter Neumann 2008-02-27 17:18:16 UTC
Just updated to texlive in fc8. After update gsftopk is missing. It is called by
mktexpk which is in texlive.

mf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map}] (./testfile.aux)kpathsea: Running
