there were some problems with a broken ucf and the optifications by autobuilder.
I hope the fixes in tex-common_2.06maemo7 help now.
It works flawlessly on my N900 but maybe my "baby" is just nice to me ;-)

I suggest to start with
apt-get install -y tex-common
if that works, you can proceed with the rest

thanks for all your feedback, guys.
a completely fresh install (make sure no /etc/tex* etc are remaining)
with texlive-base_2009-7maemo5 should fix all known problems.
please let met know whether it works for you.

Nope! I should have left well alone!

I have a problem with line 1025 of the tex-common.postinst file (I think), where it says:

tmpfile=`mktemp`

When running the config this prints the usage instruction for mktmp, and returns an error code.

Cheers,
Jan

Thanks for all your work. A full texlive on the n900 nothing but fantastic and really makes the n900 shine!

Judging from this page http://maemo.org/packages/package_in.../2009-7maemo5/
you haven't ported all packages in texlive (yet).

Do you plan on doing so?

OK, it turns out that this wasn't causing my error (though perhaps would have done if it had tried to execute the command?). It was actually crashing while executing:

/usr/sbin/update-texmf

In which the first mktemp references ${TMPDIR} which isn't set (at least on my device). Changing this to /tmp helped get past this step.

There are still remnants of the previous docpurge problem: texlive-doc-base and texlive-binaries postinst scripts still try to optify doc files that aren't there. When those lines are commented out, it continues OK.

Might be worth noting here for anyone reading that the luatex references in /etc/texmf/10texlive-latex-base.cnf still need commenting out, but I assume that this is expected.

Cheers,
Jan

yes, the huge texlive-extras will be uploaded as soon as all basic installation issues are resolved

weird, I have TMPDIR. maybe I should reboot..

the new versions should have that fixed.

are you sure? should have been fixed by 2009-7maemo5 this afternoon.
maybe you have an old config file?

Aha, I have TMPDIR as user, and if I use "root" (or I guess sudo?). However, if I use "sudo gainroot" it's missing!

Pretty sure /etc was empty of all tex related stuff after my last uninstall, and I got an error referencing /etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-latex-base.cnf at the end of the reinstall. After commenting out the luatex lines the error disappeared and install finished successfully.

Cheers,
Jan
