I've been using LaTeX on a fully updated Fedora 21, but now suddenly even TeXing the simplest plain TeX file produces this: warning: kpathsea: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-config/ls-R: No usable entries in ls-R. warning: kpathsea: See the manual for how to generate ls-R. warning: kpathsea: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-var/ls-R: No usable entries in ls-R. warning: kpathsea: See the manual for how to generate ls-R. warning: kpathsea: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-local/ls-R: No usable entries in ls-R. warning: kpathsea: See the manual for how to generate ls-R. warning: kpathsea: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/ls-R: No usable entries in ls-R. warning: kpathsea: See the manual for how to generate ls-R. This is TeX, Version 3.14159265 (TeX Live 2014) (preloaded format=tex) kpathsea: Running mktexfmt tex.fmt warning: kpathsea: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-config/ls-R: No usable entries in ls-R. warning: kpathsea: See the manual for how to generate ls-R. warning: kpathsea: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-var/ls-R: No usable entries in ls-R. warning: kpathsea: See the manual for how to generate ls-R. warning: kpathsea: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-local/ls-R: No usable entries in ls-R. warning: kpathsea: See the manual for how to generate ls-R. warning: kpathsea: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/ls-R: No usable entries in ls-R. warning: kpathsea: See the manual for how to generate ls-R. tcfmgr: config file `tcfmgr.map' (usually in $TEXMFMAIN/texconfig) not found (ls-R missing?). fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found. I can't find the format file `tex.fmt'! There are a few ls-R files around, and all but one are binary files (see below) which surprises me, but rpm -V on the package that contains them doesn't complain. (The one that is a plain text file has only this: % ls-R -- filename database for kpathsea; do not change this line. ./: .: ls-R in it.) file says of the binary ls-R files that they're xz compressed; and after uncompressing them, file reports this: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), BuildID[sha1]=d1cc6893beed5454b21594f2dff8f27b6d9fad7d, not stripped Can this be related to a recent filesystem problem on / ? I've reinstalled all texlive packages after noticing and repairing it. And, most importantly, what should I try?
