I had to > do this: >=20 > guix pull --branch=3Dcore-updates > guix package -r texlive texlive-bin texlive-latex-base -i texlive-base I've done all these things (locales, installed only texlive-base from core-updates branch, removed any other texlive* packages and removed ~/.texlive*), now under a different user, same Guix system. I have issues again: ``` $ lualatex apen This is LuaTeX, Version 1.10.0 (TeX Live 2019)=20 restricted system commands enabled. kpathsea: Running mktexfmt lualatex.fmt mktexfmt: mktexfmt is using the following fmtutil.cnf files (in precedence = order): mktexfmt: mktexfmt is using the following fmtutil.cnf file for writing chan= ges: mktexfmt: /home/otheruser/.texlive2019/texmf-config/web2c/fmtutil.cnf mktexfmt [INFO]: writing formats under /home/otheruser/.texlive2019/texmf-v= ar/web2c mktexfmt [INFO]: did not find entry for byfmt=3Dlualatex, skipped mktexfmt [INFO]: Total formats: 0 mktexfmt [INFO]: exiting with status 0 I can't find the format file `lualatex.fmt'! ``` Given the similarity of the issue (except for that this does not now relate to the package texlive-bin-20180414 as it is not installed), the fact that I won't have a lot of time at the moment and don't want to waste other people's time, and that there will be a next staging branch soon, would it be best to wait when the latter happens and switch to that one? Of course, if there is still an actual issue (instead of user error) it may actually be relevant to look at this more closely (but I don't know anymore!), so here is at least some info: $ guix package -I | grep texlive texlive-base 51265 out /gnu/store/iccw4cdkcgmccl5svndji830k55v9cxy-texl= ive-base-51265 =E2=80=94Marco
