In /var/lib/texmf/ls-R I find: -status_8c.html...spectre-status_8h.html texhash fails with: root@moose:/usr/share/gnome/apps/RootRlogin/Bioinf_pdm(91)# texhash warning: kpathsea: No usable entries in //var/lib/texmf/ls-R. warning: kpathsea: See the manual for how to generate ls-R. warning: kpathsea: No usable entries in /usr/share/texmf/ls-R. warning: kpathsea: See the manual for how to generate ls-R. warning: kpathsea: No usable entries in /usr/share/texmf-site/ls-R. warning: kpathsea: See the manual for how to generate ls-R. warning: kpathsea: No usable entries in /usr/share/texmf-dist/ls-R. warning: kpathsea: See the manual for how to generate ls-R. texhash: Updating //etc/texmf/ls-R... texhash: /usr/share/texmf/ls-R: no magic string, skipping... texhash: /usr/share/texmf-dist/ls-R: no magic string, skipping... texhash: /usr/share/texmf-site/ls-R: no magic string, skipping... texhash: //var/lib/texmf/ls-R: no magic string, skipping... texhash: Done. Removing all ls-r files an doing again texhash helped. But what is the reason? Was it only a corrupted filesystem or something else?

But what is the reason? > Was it only a corrupted filesystem or something else? well i suppose its a 'conservative' reason: if it doesnt recognize the file then it doesnt touch it in order not to overwrite files it shouldnt and I dont know why the ls-R files got corrupted though i would bet on a corrupted filesystem anyway, you figured out the fix (removing ls-R files), so there's nothing to do, right?
