Discussion between N0rbert and Manuel Uberti

6:14 PM

I freshly installed Ubuntu 18.04 last week, meaning I have not upgraded from 16.04, rather formatted the hard drive and installed 18.04. I am trying to install texlive-full, but whenever I use: sudo apt install texlive-full this is what I get: Reading package lists... Done Building dependenc...

N0rbert

What is the output of apt-cache policy texlive-full (add to question)?

Manuel Uberti

@N0rbert added the requested information. And @SorenA: yes, I did run sudo apt update before trying to install.

N0rbert

Check images in my other answer - do you have enabled all software sources? Also I recommend to switch to Main server.

Manuel Uberti

Switched to Main Server. Did sudo apt update. Still same error.

@N0rbert also yes, I have enabled all the software sources.

N0rbert

Try to remove all apt-lists with sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* and then retry sudo apt update, sudo apt install texlive-full.

Manuel Uberti

Same error again.

N0rbert

Do you have any PPAs added? On clean Bionic install I can install texlive without problems.

Manuel Uberti

Yes, but nothing related to TeX/LaTeX

ls -lah /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

I tried this one, which was the one I was using on Xenial, but there is no support for Bionic until October: launchpad.net/~jonathonf/+archive/ubuntu/texlive

So I just removed it.

N0rbert

What is the output of dpkg -l | grep york?

Manuel Uberti

dpkg -l | grep york

N0rbert

I suspect that this package is the problem. Let's remove it with sudo apt purge libkpathsea6. And then sudo apt install texlive-full.

Manuel Uberti

If I do that, I lose evince too:
sudo apt purge libkpathsea6
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED
evince* libevdocument3-4* libevview3-3* libkpathsea6*
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 4 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.
After this operation, 2.350 kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

N0rbert

We will reinstall evince then.

Manuel Uberti

It worked (and I reinstalled evince too). If you add your latest suggestion as a reply to my question I can mark it as answered. :)

Thanks a lot!

Or just tell me if you want me to do it. As you wish. :)

oh I saw your answer. Thanks again for the help, much appreciated.

N0rbert
