This bug is a clone of Bug #991326. I cloned it to change the severity and hardware fields. ----- Description of problem: While building dvi from a tex file this is the error I encounter kpathsea: Running mktexfmt latex.fmt /usr/bin/mktexfmt: line 395: /usr/share/texmf-dist/texconfig/tcfmgr: No such file or directory fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found. I can't find the format file `latex.fmt'! Tried to do fmtutil-sys --all which says /bin/fmtutil: line 395: /usr/share/texmf-dist/texconfig/tcfmgr: No such file or directory fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found. Erased and reinstalled texlive using yum erase texlive* yum install texlive Same problem appears. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): texlive-2013-0.1.20130608_r30832.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: Every-time while compiling a tex file Additional info:
In a comment on a similar looking bug (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=739643) Jindrich Novy says: "Problems may arise if you update from older versions of TeX Live 2010 where post-install scriptlets could cause havoc or e.g. updmap.cfg was already in inconsistent state. Please remove the old installation completely and install it again without updating from the previous versions." This is unlikely be a problem, because it's a brand new install of Fedora 19. Unless having a ~/.texlive2007 counts. I renamed it, but that didn't help.
Created attachment 785416 [details] list of texlive packages I had when the problem occurred
Created attachment 785417 [details] the list of extra packages After installing a number of extra texlive packages (see attachment!) the problem went away. I don't know if it counts as a dependency bug or not.
Actually I think the problem occurred due to the change in texmf-dist path. It seems it has been moved from the old path. Removing the packages did not work for me. I did a symlink to its old path put texmf-config/ls-R to texmf-dist and then I did a texconfig rehash. After that I did fmtutils-sys --all. after that everything was ok.
My clean install failed with the same error: "fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found." Installing texlive-texconfig-bin solved it, so my guess is that there is a missing dependency on textlive-texconfig for some package.
This causes FTBFS of kannel. Comment 5 solves the problem, so I think it's a dependency problem.
F20 user here. I had texlive-texconfig-bin package installed and still had the problem. I've installed texlive-collection-latex-3:svn30308.0-5.20131226_r32488.fc20.noarch as per suggestion from http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general/435441/focus=435452 and issued "sudo texconfig rehash" per suggestion from http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/64895/64667, and my pdflatex definitely progressed further. I am not sure the additional packages helped but I'd installed following: Installing: texlive-collection-latex noarch 3:svn30308.0-5.20131226_r32488.fc20 updates Installing for dependencies: libpaper i686 1.1.24-7.fc20 fedora texlive-ae noarch 3:svn15878.1.4-5.fc20 updates texlive-amscls noarch 3:svn30738.0-5.fc20 updates texlive-babel-english noarch 3:svn30264.0-5.fc20 updates texlive-beton noarch 3:svn15878.0-5.fc20 updates texlive-bibtex noarch 3:svn29764.0.99d-5.fc20 updates texlive-bibtex-bin i686 3:svn30088.0-5.20131226_r32488.fc20 updates texlive-cm noarch 3:svn29581.0-5.fc20 updates texlive-collection-basic noarch 3:svn30372.0-5.20131226_r32488.fc20 updates texlive-dvipdfmx noarch 3:svn32380.0-5.fc20 updates texlive-dvipdfmx-bin i686 3:svn30845.0-5.20131226_r32488.fc20 updates texlive-dvipdfmx-def noarch 3:svn31722.0-5.fc20 updates texlive-dvips noarch 3:svn32380.0-5.fc20 updates texlive-dvips-bin i686 3:svn30088.0-5.20131226_r32488.fc20 updates texlive-enctex noarch 3:svn28602.0-5.fc20 updates texlive-etex noarch 3:svn31600.2.1-5.fc20 updates texlive-euler noarch 3:svn17261.2.5-5.fc20 updates texlive-fancyhdr noarch 3:svn15878.3.1-5.fc20 updates texlive-fix2col noarch 3:svn17133.0-5.fc20 updates texlive-glyphlist noarch 3:svn28576.0-5.fc20 updates texlive-gsftopk noarch 3:svn29764.1.19.2-5.fc20 updates texlive-gsftopk-bin i686 3:svn30088.0-5.20131226_r32488.fc20 updates texlive-hyph-utf8 noarch 3:svn30757.0-5.fc20 updates texlive-ifluatex noarch 3:svn26725.1.3-5.fc20 updates texlive-ltxmisc noarch 3:svn21927.0-5.fc20 updates texlive-lua-alt-getopt noarch 3:svn29349.0.7.0-5.fc20 updates texlive-makeindex noarch 3:svn29764.2.12-5.fc20 updates texlive-makeindex-bin i686 3:svn30088.0-5.20131226_r32488.fc20 updates texlive-metafont noarch 3:svn29764.2.718281-5.fc20 updates texlive-metafont-bin i686 3:svn30088.0-5.20131226_r32488.fc20 updates texlive-mflogo noarch 3:svn17487.0-5.fc20 updates texlive-mfnfss noarch 3:svn19410.0-5.fc20 updates texlive-mfware noarch 3:svn29764.0-5.fc20 updates texlive-mfware-bin i686 3:svn30088.0-5.20131226_r32488.fc20 updates texlive-misc noarch 3:svn24955.0-5.fc20 updates texlive-mptopdf noarch 3:svn29751.0-5.fc20 updates texlive-mptopdf-bin noarch 3:svn18674.0-5.20131226_r32488.fc20 updates texlive-natbib noarch 3:svn20668.8.31b-5.fc20 updates texlive-pdftex-def noarch 3:svn22653.0.06d-5.fc20 updates texlive-plain noarch 3:svn26647.0-5.fc20 updates texlive-pslatex noarch 3:svn16416.0-5.fc20 updates texlive-pspicture noarch 3:svn15878.0-5.fc20 updates texlive-tex noarch 3:svn29764.3.1415926-5.fc20 updates texlive-tex-bin i686 3:svn30088.0-5.20131226_r32488.fc20 updates texlive-texconfig noarch 3:svn29764.0-5.fc20 updates texlive-texconfig-bin noarch 3:svn29741.0-5.20131226_r32488.fc20 updates texlive-texlive-common-doc noarch 3:svn30524.0-5.fc20 updates texlive-texlive-en-doc noarch 3:svn32016.0-5.fc20 updates texlive-texlive-msg-translations noarch 3:svn31379.0-5.fc20 updates texlive-texlive-scripts noarch 3:svn32466.0-5.fc20 updates texlive-texlive-scripts-bin noarch 3:svn29741.0-5.20131226_r32488.fc20 updates texlive-xdvi noarch 3:svn30339.22.86-5.fc20 updates texlive-xdvi-bin i686 3:svn30088.0-5.20131226_r32488.fc20 updates
Fedora 22, fresh install, nothing TeX-related ever installed on this machine before today. I wanted to use Pandoc to convert some Markdown to a PDF: `pandoc -t latex foo.md -o foo.pdf` instructed me to install pdflatex. Installing texlive-latex-bin-bin (via command-not-found) pulled in 108 other packages http://fpaste.org/251029/14386135/ but pdflatex still didn't work at all: % pdflatex foo.tex This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.15 (TeX Live 2014) (preloaded format=pdflatex) restricted \write18 enabled. kpathsea: Running mktexfmt pdflatex.fmt /usr/bin/mktexfmt: line 395: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/texconfig/tcfmgr: No such file or directory fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found. I can't find the format file `pdflatex.fmt'! Installing texlive-texconfig (and texlive-texconfig-bin) allowed it to make more progress: http://fpaste.org/251031/86136421/ and: % pandoc -t latex foo.md -o foo.pdf ! Font OT1/cmr/m/n/10=cmr10 at 10.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found . <to be read again> relax l.64 \normalsize pandoc: Error producing PDF from TeX source Installing texlive-collection-fontsrecommended finally did the trick. So it seems to me like texlive-latex-bin-bin (or one of its dependencies…) is missing at least a dependency on texlive-texconfig. I don't know whether something should have depended on some fonts… or maybe pandoc needs a supplementary package to install all the dependencies to make its PDF-via-LaTeX output work? (I guess in Debian terms the fonts might be Recommended:, but I don't think RPM has an equivalent.)
