Hi Rudi,
I have the same problem and only now I have been able to look into it.
AFAICS what happens is that preview.sty is not in texlive search path.
$ kpsewhere url.sty
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/url/url.sty
$ kpsewhere preview.sty
$
According to texconfig
kpathsea variables
...
TEXMF={/usr/share/texlive/texmf-config,/usr/share/texlive/texmf-var,/root/texmf,!!/usr/share/texlive/texmf-config,!!/usr/share/texlive/texmf-var,!!/usr/share/texlive/texmf,!!/usr/share/texlive/../texmf-local,!!/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist}
...
Note that /usr/share/texmf is not in that search path.
Since /usr/share/texmf-local is in the list making it a symbolic link to
/usr/share/texmf (after running texhash) shows it again:
$ kpsewhere preview.sty
/usr/share/texlive/../texmf-local/tex/latex/preview/preview.sty
Jindrich is this diagnostic right and if so could you fix it allowing the tex
packages in fedora to work with texlive-2012.
Thanks and regards, :-)
