texlive-basic @15576_1+doc fails to activate

[skymoo (Adam Mercer)]

I'm trying to install texlive +full on a PPC Leopard machine and texlive-basic is failing to activate with the following error:

Can you provide the contents of /opt/local/var/db/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg?

I removed all the texlive ports ready to try from a clean install and found that there where a lot a files under /opt/local/var/db. I've attached the list of these files, could these be interfering? Also why are they there if I removed the ports?

[drkp (Dan Ports)]

If you have a /opt/local/etc/texmf/updmap.d/10texlive-fonts-extra.cfg for some reason, that's probably the source of your problem.

The files in var/db/texmf should be cleaned up by post-deactivate hooks when the ports are removed. I'm not sure why yours weren't...

Yes I did.

Anything I can do to help you debug this?

Yes I did.

Any idea why it was there? It should be removed when the texlive-fonts-extra is uninstalled (just like any other file, no magic involved).

Oh, you're probably using the flat registry. The post-deactivate hooks don't get run unless you're using the sqlite registry. Although it's annoying and a waste of space to have these files floating around after you've uninstalled the ports that installed them, I don't think they'll actually cause any problems.

I switched this box over to use the sqlite registry.

One thing is that I originally installed the default +medium variant but found that documents needed some extra styles so wanted to switch over to the +full variant, so I ran

$ sudo port -f upgrade texlive +full --enforce-variants

maybe that screwed things up? Anyway I removed these files and the installation is chugging away nicely now.
