Unfortunately, I cannot do it now... I did not copy it from /tmp/ to a safer place so it was removed after a reboot. But I have looked through it several times and I recall that all the formats supplied with the base installation of texlive were built without any errors. The only error message was about omega format which is not in the base installation of texlive but was included in the teTeX distro. I copied that message to the bug report. I am afraid this is the only information that I can provide by now, I am sorry. Another thing that can be useful is that the version of tetex I had was from the stable distro (i.e. 2.0.2c-8). > > I think that this happened because of some configuration files left > > from the tetex installation in /etc/texmf/fmt.d > > Possible. Please send us the output of the following commands: > > ls -l /etc/texmf/fmt.d > ls -l /var/lib/tex-common/fmtutil-cnf/ This will not have much sense now because to get texlive working I had to purge all the remainings of tetex. But again I remember that in /etc/texmf/fmt.d there was a config file of teTeX that mentioned omega format. When I purged remainings of all tetex-* packages manually (dpkg --force-depends --purge) and installed texlive packages anew everything went without any errors. By the way, another question about omega. In /usr/share/texmf-texlive there is a dir omega with the following content (ls -lR): omega: итого 0 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 72 2006-08-13 23:18 ocp drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 72 2006-08-13 23:18 otp omega/ocp: итого 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 104 2006-08-13 23:18 misc omega/ocp/misc: итого 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1112 2000-03-31 13:54 ebcdic.ocp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 56 2000-08-14 03:21 id.ocp omega/otp: итого 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 104 2006-08-13 23:18 misc omega/otp/misc: итого 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1629 2000-03-31 13:54 ebcdic.otp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 44 2000-08-14 03:21 id.otp Are these files needed at all? Maybe they were included by a mistake? I have installed the following texlive packages: texlive texlive-base texlive-base-bin texlive-common texlive-context texlive-doc-base texlive-doc-en texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-lang-cyrillic texlive-latex-base texlive-latex-recommended texlive-metapost texlive-pdfetex texlive-pictures texlive-publishers I did not install texlive-omega. dpkg -S ebcdic.ocp says texlive-base: /usr/share/texmf-texlive/omega/ocp/misc/ebcdic.ocp -- Станислав
