I installed TeXlive-full in Ubuntu 1604 using the command sudo apt-get install texlive-full. I find the following packages missing:
skt (Sanskrit for LaTeX2e by Charles Wikner)
devnag (Devanagari TeX 2.17 )
Itrans
All these packages were available in earlier versions like Ubuntu 1204
and could be installe3d using the usual "sudo apt-get install" command.
The Ubuntu software Centre also cannot find these packages.
Are there Debian packages available for these packages, which one can install by downloading them?. (There must be, since they were all present in earlier Ubuntu versions).
Also,where is the LOCAL TEXMF tree located in Ubuntu Texlive, where I can manually place missing packages and style files?
skt.c
seems to be no longer distributed with TeX Live and needs to be downloaded from CTAN).skt.c
from CTAN and compile it like any other C file: it has no dependencies. I don't know why this stopped being distributed in TeX Live though… BTW have you seen the earlier answers and are you sure you can't usexelatex
/lualatex
instead ofpdflatex
?
