Description:
The CTAN fouriernc package should be included in texlive-fontsextra package according to the wiki. It's not there. It's "fixable" by editing the wiki, but since I'm using the package, I'd like to see it there.

Additional info:
texlive-fontsextra-2007.1-2

Steps to reproduce:
"pacman -Ql texlive-fontsextra | grep fouriernc" gives nothing.
Of course, using \usepackage{fouriernc} inside a latex file and compiling it produces an error about missing fouriernc.sty.
This task depends upon

Well, further googling showed that CTAN actually doesn't list fouriernc as a part of texlive distribution:
http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackageInformation.py?id=fouriernc
So just edit the wiki, I'm going to make a texlive-fouriernc package myself. Also I figured that for some postscript fonts (like garamond, also listed on the wiki) the package actually comes only with metrics (*.tfm), so if one wants to use those, one needs to get the fonts him/herself from CTAN.

fouriernc was added to the TeXLive SVN repo in April, that is, after the 2007 release. My texlive packages contain exactly the same stuff as on the ISO files provided by TeXLive last February (with the exception of beamer and pgf which I have separately updated in the last release).

For now you have to install it by hand under /opt/texlive/texmf-local (or ~/texmf). It should not have been listed in the wiki. The mistake comes from the fact that I made it before switching from "svn" to "stable" (see the forum for details). I'll update the wiki when I have some time.

I am closing this as it is a misunderstanding due to inaccurate information on the wiki rather than a bug. If you have further comments you can post them on the forum (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=294457).
