Missing *.sty files from MikTeX 2.9 upgrade to v2.1.2 #1

Open GilmourR opened 7 years ago

GilmourR commented 7 years ago

When I installed forest v2.1.2 today using the MiKTeX package manager it is only installing the forest-compat.sty file, not forest.sty, forest-lib-edges.sty or forest-lib-linguistics.sty. Compiling a tex file that requires forest.sty, then generates an error message saying that the forest package is missing.

I tested the installation of other packages, all of which were complete installations.

My work around was to download forest from CTAN and install it in my local distribution folder (see here for instruction: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2063/how-can-i-manually-install-a-package-on-miktex-windows). This suggests that there is something wrong with the MiKTeX packaging.

I am posting this here for anyone that encounters the same issue. I'll post this to the MiKTeX mailing list.

Thank you for your wonderful package.
