Hi,
the version 4.12 `lshort' uses the `eurofont.sty' which
is not distributed as well the font data files that it uses.
Well, eurosans.sty seems to be missing too. Both are not contained in
upstream teTeX and hence not in Debian. We should ask Thomas to
include them, if the license is compatible to the DFSG.
Sorry but what lshort did you talk about?
Is it /usr/share/texmf/source/latex/lshort/src/lshort.tex ?
I don't know exactly where it is located, but I guess yes. lshort.tex
needs for compiling eurofont.sty and eurosans.sty. Both files are
sitting on CTAN in contrib.
A lot package in CTAN/.../contrib are in teTeX
I guess because both depend on fonts not
available from CTAN due to licensing reasons.
Not a good situation that lshort build-depends on files not available
in teTeX...
The remark deals with the Debian distribution not with teTeX
Anyway, you can find everything you need in the net.
This is a correct statement but an inapropiate response:
a very mature distribution as Debian could certainly provide
such stuff: the lshort package contains very basic LaTeX stuff.
hth,
Jerome
