        <pre>I was trying to use latex and got the error message,

  'i can't find the format file latex.fmt'

Never had this before (2014.0, 2013.0, ...)

Googling around, I've found a workaround in command line (as root)


$ fmtutil-sys --all

After this, the error message was no longer issued and latex worked fine.

This bug is only to report that the texlive, latex packages may be lacking some
configuration.

Anyway the package texlive-latex-bin wasn't installed (would it be the cause of
the problem?). Now, I installed it.

Thanks</pre>
