@titan

Thanks for looking into the issue -- I hope you find a solution:-)

Just for your information I have successfully installed the following packages:
- texlive-bibtex-extra
- texlive-font-utils
- texlive-formats-extra
- texlive-generic-extra
- texlive-generic-recommended
- texlive-humanities
- texlive-lang-danish
- texlive-lang-french
- texlive-lang-german
- texlive-lang-latin
- texlive-lang-norwegian
- texlive-lang-swedish
- texlive-latex3
- texlive-luatex
- texlive-math-extra
- texlive-metapost
- texlive-omega
- texlive-pictures
- texlive-plain-extra
- texlive-pstricks
- texlive-publishers
- texlive-science
- texlive-xetex
- texlive-xetex-bin

The following would however not install:
- texlive-extra-utils (couldn't be configured)
- texlive-fonts-extra -- (not enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives)
- texlive-latex-extra (missing dependencies)

Best regards

I'm still unable to install due to this error message.

Code:

update-texmf: Basic configuration file /etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf missing.

I'm sure I purged everything and had nothing TeX-related in /etc left from my former installs.

Thank you for your help!

EDIT: I started all over and it installed fine. Seems to have been an issue with my Application Manager.

it seems to be a serious kernel/libc bug, see https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8590
TexLive is really a nice stress test for the N900: many limitations and hidden bugs show up.

in the meantime you can download the correct .fmt files from
http://www.maemory.com/N900/xelatex/
and put them into /var/lib/texmf/web2c/xetex/

The following would however not install:
- texlive-extra-utils (couldn't be configured)
- texlive-fonts-extra -- (not enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives)
- texlive-latex-extra (missing dependencies)

2) can be fixed moving apt/archives to /home and symlinking it
the other two are trivial and will be fixed in the next extras upload,
but not before the serious bug is fixed.

thanks for the feedback!

it might happen if it installed manually with sudo.
could you please purge again, also rm -rf /opt/tex-common as root
and then install via app manager?

Thank you so much. I just installed the correct .fmt files, and it now works:-)

Keep up the good work, it is truly appreciated!

This I tried and still get error messages:

Code:

update-updmap: cannot read /etc/texmf/updmap.d/00updmap.cfg
...
update-texmf: Basic configuration fie /etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf missing

and all the other packages can't be configured because dependencies are not ready.

This can't be because I installed your version of ucf before?

EDIT: Got it working, see above

@titan

Just wanted to inform you that I did a successful upgrade of all the packages you uploaded today. I also installed the three packages which I couldn't install yesterday, and so far everything seems to work fine.

Many thanks from a cold Copenhagen (Denmark)

I just tried to update tex-common, but did not succeed. I got the following error:

Code:

Setting up tex-common (2.06maemo12) ...
Running mktexlsr. This may take some time... done.
Running updmap-sys. This may take some time... 
updmap-sys failed. Output has been stored in
/opt/tmp/updmap.XXlmwSJq
Please include this file if you report a bug.

Sometimes, not accepting conffile updates in /etc/texmf/updmap.d
causes updmap-sys to fail.  Please check for files with extension
.dpkg-dist or .ucf-dist in this directory

dpkg: error processing tex-common (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 tex-common
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

EDIT: OK, it seems to have installed, and the TeX system still seems to work.

an update to texlive-binaries is still in my queue.
the content of the file /opt/tmp/updmap.XXlmwSJq
could be useful. thanks for the feedback.
