Package: base Severity: grave Installed sarge this last weekend and now trying to latex a document, but having a cascade of problems in getting it to work. First problem is:
/home/jeff/unk/250/exams/1[429] r lat latex wrapper This is e-TeX, Version 3.14159-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.5) kpathsea: Running mktexfmt latex.efmt fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found. I can't find the format file `latex.efmt'! I fixed that by rebuilding the ls-lR file via texconfig. (Also moved fmtutil.cnf to /etc/texmf and put a link at wherever it was.) However, the next is not so obvious. I now get (at the tail of a long output: ... No pages of output. Transcript written on latex.log. mv: cannot create regular file `/usr/share/texmf/web2c/latex.log': Permission denied mv: cannot create regular file `/usr/share/texmf/web2c/latex.fmt': Permission denied /usr/share/texmf/web2c/mktexupd: /usr/share/texmf/web2c/latex.fmt not a file.
