bug#42166: texlive@2019 looks up font ‘.enc’ files in $PWD

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hi!

I’m using texlive 20190410 on
<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/maintenance.git/tree/talks/fosdem-2020/containers>
and pdftex fails like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Stracing shows that pdflatex is looking for ‘fir_junpg2.enc’ in $PWD.

Any idea what’s going on?  This is with the monolithic ‘texlive’
package (I never managed to find the right package combination to use
the modular texlive).

I believe I used texlive@2018 (pre-core-updates merge) back when working
on this talk.

Thanks in advance,  :-)

bug#42166: Closing

[Andreas Enge]

Hello,

this has most likely been solved by either the new monolithic texlive
package, or the vastly expanded modular texlive. So I am closing the report,
please reopen it if the problem persists.

Thanks for the report,

Andreas
