1 To continue with this: The portage files for
2 tetex-20030112.ebuild and friends are dated Jan 13.

4 If I do 'emerge tetex-20030112.ebuild' it runs to completion,
5 but using it gives
6 ----
7 latex ird
8 This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.4.3)
9 kpathsea: Running mktexfmt latex.fmt
10 fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found.
11 I can't find the format file `latex.fmt'!
12 ----

14 If I go into '/var/tmp/portage/tetex-200...' and run the
15 ebuild process by hand, omitting the configure line
16 '--datadir=${S}', and then by hand do step by step the
17 src_install and pkg_postinst functions, I end up
18 with a working version.
19
20 Now, for the hand-built version, I did not install into
21 /usr, so I can test it and compare results with the installed
22 version (tetex-1.0.7-r11), for me at least the automated
23 emerge does not give a working version, even though it seems
24 to install everything where it should (/usr/share/texmf).

41 >>> When did you rsync?
42
43 The morning of the test, almost certainly. I rsync every day at about
44 7:30 or 8:00 AM; I started the TeTeX build about two hours before
45 I sent you the note. I 'll try to look at what is there as I have
46 the chance to, but I'm not connected to that particular system right
47 now.

49 Thanks for the response.
