This should be /usr/share/texmf/tex/lambda/base/lambda.tex On my system, the command kpsewhich -progname=lamed -show-path tex gives the following output (manual linewrapping): .:!!/home/frank/.texmf-config/tex/lamed//:!!/home/frank/.texmf-var/tex/lamed//: /home/frank/texmf/tex/lamed//:!!/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/lamed//: !!/var/lib/texmf/tex/lamed//:!!/usr/share/texmf/tex/lamed//: !!/home/frank/.texmf-config/tex/lambda//:!!/home/frank/.texmf-var/tex/lambda//: /home/frank/texmf/tex/lambda//:!!/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/lambda//: !!/var/lib/texmf/tex/lambda//:!!/usr/share/texmf/tex/lambda//: !!/home/frank/.texmf-config/tex/latex//:!!/home/frank/.texmf-var/tex/latex//: /home/frank/texmf/tex/latex//:!!/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex//: !!/var/lib/texmf/tex/latex//:!!/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex//: !!/home/frank/.texmf-config/tex/generic//:!!/home/frank/.texmf-var/tex/generic//: /home/frank/texmf/tex/generic//:!!/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/generic//: !!/var/lib/texmf/tex/generic//:!!/usr/share/texmf/tex/generic//: !!/home/frank/.texmf-config/tex///:!!/home/frank/.texmf-var/tex///:/home/frank/texmf/tex///: !!/usr/local/share/texmf/tex///:!!/var/lib/texmf/tex///:!!/usr/share/texmf/tex///: ./bilder This looks confusing; but if you look closely that the sequence is always "/home/frank/.texmf-config, /home/frank/.texmf-var, /home/frank/texmf, /usr/local/share/texmf/, /var/lib/texmf, /usr/share/texmf" at the beginning (this is the boring part), whereas the end is the same in each of three lines: The first three have tex/lamed, then come three with tex/lambda, then tex/latex, then tex/generic and finally tex/. This means that if there are two files with the same name, the one in tex/lambda should be found before the other one in tex/generic, which means that even if I install tex-skak, tex/lambda/base/lambda.tex will still be used. Can you please send us the output of kpsewhich -progname=lamed -show-path tex ls -l /usr/share/texmf/tex/lambda/base/lambda.tex dpkg -S lambda.tex grep lamed /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf grep lamed /etc/texmf/texmf.d/* Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f.
