Description: when installing texlive-most from scratch a number of errors occur

11/20) upgrading texlive-latexextra [##################################] 100%

It seems that the PATH variable isn't set after the initial texlive core installtion

Additional info:
According to this thread
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=45681
The solution is as simple as sourcing /etc/profile after the changes to the path are made.


Steps to reproduce:
pacman -S texlive-most

probably only shows the errors if you don't have texlive in your path from a previous installation
This task depends upon

This is a known issue. It only occurs if you install texlive-most from scratch, and it is mostly a cosmetic problem. I won't fix this as I am about to release the texlive packages of TL2008. See http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/TeXLive_2008 and http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=397660
