I installed TexLive 2014 from the iso
image I downloaded from TexLive images.The installation went on perfectly smooth and I also had the installer create symlinks
inside /usr/bin
. However, when I tried to install TexStudio
the editor via the package manager apt-get
Ubuntu also installed some older TexLive
packages which I suspect that might have corrupted my original installation. How can I remove the older TexLive
packages installed before installing TexStudio
without affecting my original TexLive 2014
installation? Furthermore, when I go into /usr/bin
I noticed that one of the symlinks
was broken, namely mkluatexfontdb, the output of ll
command is as follows:
ll mkluatexfontdb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 55 Oca 2 22:27 mkluatexfontdb -> /usr/local/texlive/2014/bin/x86_64-linux/mkluatexfontdb
I checked in the directory pointed out by the link and confirmed that the file mkluatexfontdb did not exist. What can I do about it?
Tex
mess up with my original installation?equivs
package to fool the Ubuntu package manager into thinking their TeX Live is installed. Or you could keep using the Ubuntu TL 2013 that came with 14.04. It's not horribly out of date, but that depends on what you really need.apt
to uninstall the Debian TeXLive packages should not touch your manual install (unless things have changed recently). I'dpurge
the install along with TeXStudio; then use thetlmgr
utility to update (if needed) manual install; then set up theequivs
as suggested; then install TeXStudio. (Sadly, I can't help with the broken link: never heard of the 'file' before, and it doesn't seem to be present on my system [tlmgr revision 35841
using TeX Live 2014].)
