Bug#673022: texlive-base: happened with upgrade to 2013.20140123-1 from 2013.20140314-1

[JS <jshaio@yahoo.com>]

Norbert,

Yes, I do have texlive-omega installed; here are a few lines from dpkg.log showing it's been

installed before this upgrade was made:

Hi,

what you reported is a different item, but please wait before opening
a new bug, because ....

Well, then it is now impossible to reproduce, unless you have
some more information about the former state:
* did you have texlive-omega installed?
* what was the content of /etc/texmf/fmt.d

Which barfs at:
kpathsea: Running mkocp ebcdic.ocp
otp2ocp: fatal: File 'ebcdic' not found.

The file ebcdic.ocp is in texlive-omega, which also defines the
aleph format. So the only ideas I have is:
* you had a harddrive problme and parts ofthe installation got missing
  (-> nothing we can work around or do anything)
* you have yourself removed parts of the installed files
  (-> nothing we can work around)
* you have changed the confirguration in /etc/texmf/fmt.d/
  (-> nothing we can work around, that is your responsibility)

If you cannot give us a recipe to reproduce this error, or more
information, I would close a new bug.

Thanks for your understanding

Norbert
