[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Dear Guix Hackers,

I see consistent failures of the package texlive-font-maps. It logs the error:

updmap [ERROR]: The following map file(s) couldn't be found:
updmap [ERROR]:         dvips35.map (in builtin)
updmap [ERROR]:         pdftex35.map (in builtin)
updmap [ERROR]:         ps2pk35.map (in builtin)
updmap [ERROR]: Did you run mktexlsr?

        You can disable non-existent map entries using the option
          --syncwithtrees.

This currently prevents me from updating my system.

The full log and the drv-file are attached.

These files are provided by texlive-scripts, which should be available
on every modular TeX Live installation (texlive-bin propagates it).

You seem to have some texlive packages installed, but no `texlive-bin'.

What texlive packages, if any, are installed in your profile? What
happens if you also install, for example, `texlive-scheme-basic'?

Hi Nicolas,


`guix install texlive-scheme-basic` helped in my case.

Output of `guix package --export-manifest` after above command:

I had the same issue, with a pretty minimal manifest:


(use-modules (gnu packages))
(use-package-modules tex)

(packages->manifest (list texlive texlive-amsmath texlive-txfonts))


Based on the suggestion that the missing files are propagated by 
texlive-bin, I added that to the manifest and found that the build 
succeeded. So is the issue that texlive is not propagating 
texlive-scripts correctly?

The `texlive` package contains the whole monolothic texlive
distribution, and is different from the newer modular one.  You probably
want `texlive-bin` instead.  `texlive-scheme-basic` is a meta-package
propagating a basic set of tex packages that you might need.

Indeed, as suggested in the manual, one should install at least one
"scheme", or at least, a "collection", to use modular TeX Live.

Consequently, installing `texlive-bin' is not sufficient, and should be
avoided unless you want a very minimal system, with a lot of sweat. For
example, `texlive-bin' does not provide any ".fmt" file.

Sorry for the late answer, I missed your answer :-/

Adding texlive-bin to my manifest works. Thank you!

Is there a package that says "all of texlive"? When working with LaTeX,
I do not know beforehand which packages I need but rather always need
all available to try out what works well.

It’s similar as with fonts where I usually need all fonts during
document design, not just a subset, so I can try out quickly how they
would look.

Best wishes,
Arne

The "all of texlive" package is called `texlive'.

When you have this one in your profile, you shouldn't need any
"texlive-" prefixed package. OTOH, if you don't have `texlive', which is
what I suggest, you need to start off with a base system, such as
`texlive-scheme-basic' and extend it with TeX Live collections.

Subject: biber not in $PATH with texlive only
Date: Tue, 08 Aug 2023 21:53:52 +0200

Hi,

according to your suggestion it would be sufficient to have 
"texlive" to have "all of texlive". Unfortunately, with "texlive" 
only, I don't have "biber" on my $PATH. Therefore I used to have 
"texlive-bibeer" in addition to "texlive" in my system 
configuration, which resulted in having "biber" on my $PATH in the 
past. Recently, my system reconfiguration fails with "texlive" + 
"texlive-biber". guix system recofigure succeeds with "texlive" + 
"texlive-biber" + "texlive-bin". I have the impression that this 
shouldn't be the way to go.

This is the failure (of building texlive-font-maps) during system 
reconfiguration with "texlive" + "texlive-biber" but without 
"texlive-bin":

I found that after an update, pdflatex is broken with texlive and
additional packages, but works when 

Should all texlive-prefixed packages be removed from the manifest? If
yes: can we somehow add a warning about this?

I have this list in my manifest:

  "texlive"
  "texlive-ae"
  "texlive-amsfonts"
  "texlive-bin"
  "texlive-charter"
  "texlive-cm-super"
  "texlive-fontinst"
  "texlive-ec"
  "texlive-iwona"
  "texlive-latex-fonts"
  "texlive-rsfs"
  "texlive-inconsolata"
  "texlive-mdwtools"
  "texlive-ms"
  "texlive-polyglossia"
  "texlive-titlesec"
  "texlive-lh"
  "texlive-metafont"
  "texlive-mflogo"
  "texlive-mflogo-font"
  "texlive-palatino"
  "texlive-hyphen-complete"
  "texlive-times"
  "texlive-txfonts"
  "texlive-zapfding"


Best wishes,
Arne

IMO, you either use monolithic texlive, i.e., `texlive', or modular TeX
Live, i.e. "texlive-" prefixed packages. You shouldn't need both (and
I suggest using the latter as soon as your favourite packages are
shipped).

In any case, since 3481a5cb37cacbb54f74a2b1fa52ffc5c972b09f, this
situation should not generate an error anymore.

By default, TeX Live does not provide "biber" executable, only its
sources (the same is also true, e.g., for Asymptote).

This should now be fixed. I'll let you close the bug if you can confirm
this.

OK — thank you!

I confirm that installing "texlive" without "texlive-biber" does 
not put "biber" on $PATH, which is intentional, as you write.

It is fixed now (by 3481a5cb37cacbb54f74a2b1fa52ffc5c972b09f, I 
guess), thank you!
Having "texlive" + "texlive-biber" in my system configuration lets 
me reconfigure my system and leaves me with "biber" on my $PATH 
again, without having "texlive-bin" installed.
