[Mageia-dev] texlive problems (missing formats)

[simple w8]

Hi,

Sometime ago i did reported a situation caused by texlive, at that
timw was not possible to build wpa_supplicant docs and seams that the
same problems continue existing.

When installing texlive it outputs that not all formats are built, see
the output:

and now this part is about the problems in wpa_supplicant, that cant
build docs again due to missing formats:

Maybe one could check mandriva texlive packages, they seam to be quite
good and complete and wpa_supplicant docs build ok in Mandriva cooker.
