Comment 15 for bug 82412

Hi Kamil,

Therefore does not mean anything. People install stuff from newer
version, from (in Debian) backports.org etc etc.

Furthermore, without correct version information I (= Debian developer)
cannot do anything. Another furthermore, why does the Ubuntu bug
reporting never gives the version of dependencies. It would be nice to
see:
- version of texlive*
- version of tex-common

That's why there is reportbug in Debian, and we shipped a reportbug bug
script so that we get all the infos like:
- list of installed texlive packages
- list of config files and their location
- something more I forgot.

> 2. What can I do about missing "etex.src"? Maybe it was ages ago, but it is unfortunatelly the newest version from repository.

etex.src in 2005 is in
 texlive-pdfetex
as is the format definition of etex (in
/etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-pdfetex.cnf). So it really surprises me that
this happens.

(Again, all this would have been in a reportbug report, Dear Ubuntu
devs, can you do something similar please):
Please send to the bug report:
- the exact version of tex-common, texlive-common, texlive-base-bin,
  texlive-pdfetex
- the list of files plus md5sums in /etc/texmf/fmt.d
- and tell us whether there is /root/.texmf-config and/or
  /root/.texmf-var and if yes, which files are contained

Best wishes

Norbert
