`commons/colors.tex` not found in package

[TamotsuTokazu]

Describe the bug I installed moderncv using tlmgr, which says the package repo is https://ctan.math.washington.edu/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet. Compiling any document results in an error of commons/colors.tex not found.

After some quick investigation, I found the commons in the directory for documents (some-path/doc/latex/moderncv in my case), rather than where it should be (some-path/tex/latex/moderncv in my case). So I assume maybe something's wrong with packaging for distribution?

Expected Behavior

Actual Behavior

Minimum Working Example to Reproduce the Problem

Specifications

• moderncv version and source: v2.4.0
• LaTeX compiler (pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX, etc.) and version:
• Platform (operating system, LaTeX editor, etc.): WSL2 with Ubuntu 22.04

Additional context

[LLdaniel]

The package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/moderncv/ and it seems that the folder structure matches the structure of the uploaded .tar.gz:

tar -tvf moderncv-v2.4.0-0-ge8a2096.tar.gz 'moderncv/commons/colors.tex'
-rw-rw-r-- root/root      1516 2024-07-10 07:34 moderncv/commons/colors.tex

This in turn matches the directory structure of the source code (besides the moderncv prefix created with the tar archive).

May I ask if you are running tlmgr in usermode? Also did you install texlive manually or from the Ubuntu repository? I am trying to understand your current setup in case different versions of texlive or tlmgr could be the reason for that problem?

After updating the moderncv package using tlmgr, I'm seeing the same issue:

l.25 \input{commons/colors}
                           ^^M
/usr/local/texlive/2024/texmf-dist/tex/latex/moderncv/moderncviconsawesome.sty:25:  ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

Latexmk: Missing input file 'commons/colors.tex' (or dependence on it) from following:
  ! LaTeX Error: File `commons/colors.tex' not found.

Looking at the tar file from my mirror, the whole commons/ directory seems to be missing: https://mirror.physik.tu-berlin.de/pub/CTAN/systems/texlive/tlnet/archive/moderncv.r71767.tar.xz. This corresponds to the contents of my /usr/local/texlive/2024/texmf-dist/tex/latex/moderncv directory, which is also missing that directory.

Specifications

• moderncv version and source: 2.4.0
• LaTeX compiler (pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX, etc.) and version: pdfTeX 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.26 (TeX Live 2024)
• Platform (operating system, LaTeX editor, etc.): macOS 14.5, tlmgr revision 71331, Latexmk 4.85, VSCode 1.91.1, LaTeX Workshop v10.1.0

Thanks to everyone for reporting this issue. The problem is now understood: The missing file name prefix for colors.tex was responsible for bundling that file into the documentation archive on ctan (for a more detailed explanation see linked PR).

Once this PR is merged I will immediately create a new patch version 2.4.1 for ctan. So bear with me a little more and the patch will be incoming soon...

I submitted the new patched version v2.4.1 to CTAN just now. So after the distribution to all mirrors it should be available within the next 24h.
