Description Ryan Kelly 2006-02-07 15:18:06 UTC
The latest tetex ebuild has the following in its pkg_postinst():

    einfo ""
    einfo "tetex-3.0_p1-r1 makes changes in /etc/texmf/fmtutil/00fmtutil.cnf"
    einfo "After you update this file, please run as root"
    einfo "  fmtutil-sys --missing && fmtutil-sys --byfmt etex"
    einfo ""

However, these commands seem to fail for many people, as seen in this forum thread: 

    http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=3093122#3093122

The fix seems to be running texmf-update before the fmtutil-sys commands.  Perhaps the ebuild should mention this additional command?

Cheers,

   Ryan

I changed the ebuild to mention the solution from bug #120515. We'll just try to remember to remove it when it won't be needed anymore.
