Hi,

I'm trying to use 'pdfjam' from texlive-tiny.

When I run it, I get a message that 'pdfpages' wasn't installed, so I 
add texlive-latex-pdfpages to the environemnts.  Likewise, I add 
texlive-latex-eso-pic.  Then it says that everyshi isn't found, so I try 
to add that as well.

According to the second search result of "guix search everyshi", 
everyshi can be found in texlive-latex-ms:

However, when I add this to the environment, I get the same 'not 
installed' error message.  Going by the contents "guix build 
texlive-latex-ms", it only contains 'count1to' and 'multitoc', so the 
other items should be removed from the list, or the other LaTeX packages 
must be made part of this Guix package.

(Also, standard capitalisation (*) is LaTeX and TeX, not LATEX or TEX.)

Then, I try the first search result: texlive-everyshi, which appears to 
work.  (I have to add 'texlive-pdflscape', 'texlive-generic-iftex' too, 
but that's another matter.).

Greetings,
Maxime.

In current TeX Live, texlive-latex-ms is deprecated in favor of
texlive-ms. The description of the latter correctly mentions only
"count1to" and "multitoc".

Closing.

Thank you.
