today's update breaks fonts in texlive

I get the following trying to output beamer slides from pandoc after the update:

pandoc --from markdown+task_lists -t beamer \
        -V theme=metropolis \
        -o slides.pdf slides.md
Error producing PDF.

This worked before the update with no changes.

I see the same issue as @dkwo when compiling well-formed LaTeX documents.

[ahesford]

During the upgrade, the following error was printed for each texlive-* package that was configured:

fmtutil [ERROR]: running `aleph -ini   -jobname=lamed -progname=lamed *lambda.ini </dev/null' return status: 1

Downgrading texlive-core to 2020.55416_2 (and the texlive-most meta) instead prints

fmtutil [ERROR]: running `pdftex -ini   -jobname=pdflatex-dev -progname=pdflatex-dev -translate-file=cp227.tcx *pdflatex.ini </dev/null' return status: 1
fmtutil [ERROR]: returning error due to option --strict
fmtutil [ERROR]: running `xetex -ini   -jobname=xelatex-dev -progname=xelatex-dev -etex xelatex.ini </dev/null' return status: 1

but allows me to compile the aforementioned document again.

[fosslinux]

Wuh woh... I'll look into it.

[fosslinux]

This was an error with my testing setup that I overlooked. I will fix the error once gcc10 builds are over.

In the meantime, please run the following commands to fix it, fixed it for me in a clean Void install:

sed -i 's:`kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMFROOT`:"/usr/share/texmf-dist":' /usr/sbin/updmap
updmap-sys --syncwithtrees
updmap-sys

FWIW, the fix for this is to patch updmap in texlive and to add updmap to the trigger... (hooray, even longer times for the trigger :|).

Sorry about that!

[q66]

confirming that fixes it

[ahesford]

Seems to work for me as well, but does not eliminate the fmtutil error that I noted earlier.

[fosslinux]

I have been unable to reproduce that fmtutil error. Can you please provide a list of all installed texlive- packages and the output of aleph -ini -jobname=lamed -progname=lamed *lambda.ini </dev/null.

I believe this error is harmless.

[ahesford]

I doubt the aleph error is related to this issue and I agree that it's harmless, but it is new with these texlive updates.

• Ouput from fmtutil-sys run as in the XBPS trigger, but without --quiet: fmtutil-sys.log
• Output of the failed aleph run mentioend in fmtutil-sys output: lamed.log
• List of installed TeXLive packages: tlpkgs.txt

Thanks, this solved the problem also on Haiku for me 👍
