Description Thomas Spuhler 2014-09-19 00:56:17 CEST 
Description of problem:
Updating texlive comes up with an error (has for quite a long time)
texlive #######

ERROR:  The following map file(s) couldn't be found:
        MnSymbol.map (in /usr/share/texmf-dist/web2c/updmap.cfg)

        Did you run mktexlsr?

        You can disable non-existent map entries using the option
          --syncwithtrees.

I think what is needed is a %post script (mktexlsr)

Thanks. It's actually more complicated, you can work around it by reinstalling texlive-fontsextra.
But I'll look into it :-).

I wonder if this is the problem why spring cannot find the fonts and crashes

I don't think spring looks for fonts using TeXlive system ... If it did, you would see a different error message when texlive is not installed.
And having a requires for spring to texlive-fontextras (which pulls all of texlive) is perhaps not the best idea.

any news on this?
Comment 5 Malo Deniélou 2014-11-01 00:19:06 CET 
Sorry, I don't have much time these days to work on it.

The issue is that if texlive gets updated without texlive-fontsextra being updated, it ends up being in a weird state. I need to patch the post scripts of texlive-collection-basic and texlive-texmf.
