Are your packages for Leap 42.2 only or do those packages exists in Factory. If they exist then see how the problem is solved there.

Factory has a much newer sbcl package which does not have any problems with the original texlive deps. (Or maybe it just does not fail when building incomplete documentation nowadays ... Who knows.) I don't want to make the same mistake too and upgrade Leap's sbcl for no good reason.

...

However it's needed and in past it was just installed.

Now it is not. Or only if requiered ...

And this is what my bug report is about. Leap is supposed to be stable somehow, particularly upgrading x.1 to x.2 should not cause any trouble.

beside this requiring metafont shows me that it might be that a already exisiting font is missed. That is that that IMHO the package texlive-eurosym, which its selfs requires texlive-eurosym-fonts, does provide the pfb fonts and this is perfect for pdflatex.

Thanks for that! Actually I don't need metafont but eurosym only.

...

why we break stuff on purpose for no good reason.

I'm the wrong person for this question. The only good reason from the user's side could be to have a modern TeXLive instead of the oldish of SLES 12.

Maybe I'm the only one who wants a SLE-like openSUSE. I don't see any improvement over the old openSUSE release model. Except the Leap definition is wrong and misleading: https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:42.1 "... providing a level of stability that will prove to be unmatched by other Linux distributions ..." IMO people who want texlive-2015 in 2016 should use Tumbleweed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
