But apt-cache is on the other hand faster and probably the data don't change that much anyway. > I've never had any success with `C-h k' or similar, so > I tend to use "F1 v/k/whatever" which gets the same > result. OK, C-h is better I would say because then you won't have to reach and move your hand from typing position (and then back again), but as long as you get there I guess. > Yes I am on Debian testing, and a quick play shows > that tlmgr' does work even though everything in > 'tex-live' was installed using the Debian package > manager, in fact, there was a major upgrade this > morning. Well, it would certainly such if those were in conflict. Anyway, when you compile LaTeX often it says it cannot find some file. Not one of your files, a library or whatever. Then, try installing it with tlmgr - most often it works! Before first usage (i.e. once then never again) strike 'tlmgr init-usertree' (as a normal user) - to populate a database or something to the like, I suppose. -- underground experts united: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
