Installing `bbm` doesn't seem to work

jaycech3n commented 2 years ago

Is there an existing issue for this?

[x] I have searched the existing issues

Original goal

I want to use the bbm package in antex.

Current impasse

Added bbm it to texlive.packages, but the GitHub action fails. Setting selected_scheme scheme-medium in texlive.profile also doesn't help.

Lacking resources

No response

Additional context

Error message:

Managed to get this to work by adding both bbm-macros and bbm to texlive.packages

Nice job @jaycech3n!

For future readers: if you're using TeXLive locally, kpsewich is pretty useful to figure out this stuff. If you query it for bbm.sty (seen in the error log) it finds it in bbm-macros:

$ kpsewhich bbm.sty
/usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf-dist/tex/latex/bbm-macros/bbm.sty

In hairy situations it's also useful to use \listfiles at the beginning of your document and then grep the log to find all files the engine is using.

Anyways, there's definitely much value in writing a simple checklist to follow for figuring out this kind of stuff -- opened #7!
