About --- rebuilding sympy.spec is failing running this: mktexfmt pdflatex.fmt various *.tex files & language.dat were not found , or not in the texhash DB. Solution is to copy them from the texlive-extension subdir: --- cp /usr/share/texlive-extension/texmf-dist/tex/generic/hyphen/{hyphen.tex,dumyhyphen.tex,zerohyph.tex} \ /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/hyphen/ cp /etc/texlive/tex/generic/config/language.dat \ /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/config/ --- then run: texhash now they will be seen with: kpsewhich hyphen.tex -> /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/hyphen/hyphen.tex Author --- PryMar56 Jun 2022
