DetailsDescription:
Arch's texlive-bin package doesn't contain /usr/bin/pdfcslatex. This is because its PKGBUILD stopped using texlinks and instead has a hardcoded list of symlinks. That list of symlinks is wrong: pdfcslatex is missing. https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/texlive-bin&id=f1e3231a30e768151eae895faa06e6668bcef9c4#n113 When I manually run texlinks, it produces this list: ln -s pdftex /usr/bin/amstex ln -s pdftex /usr/bin/cslatex ln -s pdftex /usr/bin/pdfcslatex ln -s pdftex /usr/bin/csplain ln -s pdftex /usr/bin/pdfcsplain ln -s pdftex /usr/bin/eplain ln -s pdftex /usr/bin/jadetex ln -s pdftex /usr/bin/pdfjadetex ln -s pdftex /usr/bin/latex ln -s pdftex /usr/bin/pdflatex ln -s luatex /usr/bin/dvilualatex ln -s luatex /usr/bin/lualatex ln -s luatex /usr/bin/dviluatex ln -s pdftex /usr/bin/mex ln -s pdftex /usr/bin/pdfmex ln -s pdftex /usr/bin/utf8mex ln -s pdftex /usr/bin/mllatex ln -s pdftex /usr/bin/mltex ln -s pdftex /usr/bin/etex ln -s pdftex /usr/bin/pdfetex ln -s eptex /usr/bin/platex ln -s pdftex /usr/bin/texsis ln -s euptex /usr/bin/uplatex ln -s xetex /usr/bin/xelatex ln -s pdftex /usr/bin/xmltex ln -s pdftex /usr/bin/pdfxmltex The PKGBUILD has two differences: pdfcslatex is omitted, and it uses the incorrect engine for pdfcsplain (it should be pdftex, not luatex). Please fix this. In the long term, it might be good to find a way to get rid of the hardcoded list, so that this sort of thing is prevented. Additional info: * texlive-bin 2013.30973-3 * I ran texlinks from texlive-core 2013.30962-2 Steps to reproduce: * ls /usr/bin/pdfcslatex |

Guys? It's been two weeks with no response. I'm handing you the solution on a silver platter. Is anyone there?
