TeXlive 2012 problem

07-10-2012, 12:25 PM

I am running Fedora-17/KDE on my laptop,
and have been trying to update TeXlive.
I've enabled the fedora-updates-testing repo, as was suggested,
but still get the error:
-----------------------------
[tim@blanche ~]$ sudo yum update texlive*
...
Error: Package: 1:texlive-preview-11.86.svn17118-1.noarch (@texlive)
Requires: texlive-kpathsea
Removing: 1:texlive-kpathsea-svn26691-1.noarch (@texlive)
texlive-kpathsea = 1:svn26691-1
Obsoleted By: 1:tex-kpathsea-svn26691-1.noarch (texlive)
Not found
-----------------------------
Any suggestions or enlightenment gratefully received.

Hi Timothy:

I have F17 and texlive repo installed, but not updates-testing enabled.
My TeXLive 2012 works fine, and I don't have any texlive-preview package
in my repos:

$ yum --enablerepo=updates-testing search texlive-preview
Warning: No matches found for: texlive-preview
No Matches found

So where do your texlive-preview package comes from?

Maybe you should disable updates-testing repo, it's not a good thing to
keep it enabled.

HTH,
Germán.

I think the solution is to remove texlive-preview and install
tex-preview from the Fedora 17 repo. The texlive repo no longer lists
texlive-preview or tex-preview as a package.

Thanks for your response.
That did the trick.

Unfortunately when I try to LaTeX (or pdfLaTeX) a file I get the error
--------------------------
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.4-1.40.13 (TeX Live 2012)
restricted write18 enabled.

I can't find the format file `latex.fmt'!

Should these .fmt files be part of the latest Fedora TeXlive distribution?

Sorry to answer my own post, but cleaning up the cache took care of
this problem.

Should have thought about that before sending it out!

I solved this issue with "yum reinstall tex-*".

New R packages have just been pushed to F17 stable for this problem.

They are built on installation. I think yum reinstall tex-* texlive-*
will fix this.

Thanks very much.
That did indeed solve the problem.
