Problem is that the eurosans package only provides the interface to
the Adobe Euro font (as it says in the description of
texlive-fonts-recommended), not the font itself. See
/usr/share/doc/texlive-fonts-recommended-doc/fonts/eurofont/README.eurosans.gz
for details of how to obtain the font. Concerning installation, it
should be enough to rename the files, put them, e.g., in
/usr/local/share/texmf/(type1,afm)/adobe/eurosans/ and run 

# mktexlsr /usr/local/share/texmf/ 

I am not usre if this is mentioned anywhere in the documentation for
texlive-fonts-recommended.
