Description of problem:
When I try to use conTeXt packages texexec complains about missing format files.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tetex 1.0.7-47 RPMs

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create source file:
-- hello.tex --------------------------------------
\setupbodyfont[14.4pt]
\starttext
Hello World!
\stoptext
---------------------------------------------------

2. execute: texexec --pdf hello.tex



Actual Results:   TeXExec 2.6 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2001

            executable : pdfetex
                format : cont-en
             inputfile : hello
                output : pdftex
             interface : en
          current mode : all
               TeX run : 1

This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-14h-released-20010417-2.1 (Web2C 7.3.3.1)
Sorry, I can't find the format `cont-en.efmt'; will try `context.efmt'.
I can't find the format file `context.efmt'!

              run time : 1 seconds

        total run time : 1 seconds


Expected Results:  It should produce the expected pdf file instead.

Additional info:

It seems that some format files are missing. Thus I
asked Thomas Esser what to do.

He suggested to try:

  pdfetex -ini -progname=context \*cont-en.ini
  fmtutil --edit # Uncomment cont-en entry
  fmtutil --byfmt cont-en

This worked fine for me.

Since I am no TeX expert you might need how to 
fix this problem in general.

Thanks.  I think I see how to fix the RPM.

Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2003-05-23 15:28:46 UTC
Current rawhide version fixes this.
