Package: texlive-context
Version: 2005.dfsg.3-1
Severity: important

This minimal test.tex ConTeXt example fails when run with
'texexec --pdf test.tex' (in Debian 'etch'):

  \starttext
  \input tufte
  \stoptext

Here is the first error (the remainder are similar):

  kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmr12
  mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input ec-lmr12
  This is METAFONT, Version 2.71828 (Web2C 7.5.5)

  kpathsea: Running mktexmf ec-lmr12
  ! I can't find file `ec-lmr12'.
  <*> ...ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input ec-lmr12

Installing 'lmodern' fixes the errors, because it provides those
missing tfm files.  So texlive-context should depend on lmodern, not
merely recommend lmodern.  Without lmodern, I think the package is
totally unusable.

My only worry about this bug report -- and the reason that I did not
mark it 'severe' -- is that it is /such/ a severe bug.  So I wonder
why I (or others) never noticed it before.  Did something change that
made lmodern required all of a sudden?  Or am I not understanding
something?

This machine runs Ubuntu feisty (i686), but I ran the above tests in a
pbuilder Debian 'etch' chroot.  I did 'sudo pbuilder login' (I think
it already had the etch security updates), then 'apt-get install
texlive-context'.  Then I ran that test file, found that it failed,
did 'apt-get install lmodern', and reran it with success.

Actually texlive-context is a virtual package pulling in context.
