Trying to use the Beamer class supplied with texlive-core, I get an error:

! LaTeX Error: File `pgfcore.sty' not found.

Installing texlive-pictures seems to fix this problem.
This task depends upon

Right. Beamer (in texlive-core) cannot be used without pgf/tikz (in texlive-pictures).
In the next release I will almost certainly merge texlive-core and texlive-pictures.

NB: My packages were based on the different "collections" in TeXLive (as with Debian), but these do not really take all dependencies into account.

texlive-core 2007.2-1 now includes pgf (which in turn is no longer in texlive-pictures).
(also: in texlive-core 2007.2 I have also updated beamer and pgf to their latest versions from sourceforge, so I have deleted domanov's conflicting packages texlive-pgf and texlive-beamer from unsupported).

it seems like, that pgf was missing some files, e.g.

! I can't find file 'pgfcoremath.code.tex'.
l.14 \input pgfcoremath.code.tex

This is actually a different issue. Though I'm not sure yet if it is a bug! See http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=296850#p296850
Daniel: did you encounter that problem yourself or copy it from the forum?
Comment by daniel g. siegel (dgsiegel) - Wednesday, 07 November 2007, 19:51 GMT
i encountered it myself, trying these nice beamer templates: http://www.barisione.org/blog.html/p=104

strangely it was fixed doing this:

pacman -Rc texlive-most
pacman -S texlive-most

Strange indeed. Could it be that you had updated texlive-pictures to 2007-2 but not yet texlive-core to 2007-2?
Comment by daniel g. siegel (dgsiegel) - Thursday, 08 November 2007, 22:42 GMT
no, i updated them at the same time. feel free to close it, as it works for me now

I'd rather wait before closing this... Perhaps someone else knows what caused this?
