Cheers for the help! I have managed to get the newer version of memoir working at last. The manual install worked in the end - just felt like a rather awkward process copying over files in /usr/share/texmf- texlive/tex/latex/memoir/ to make it work. Now when I compile the tex code with latex I see "Document Class: memoir 2010/02/20 v1.618033988c" which looks much better and it works fine.
I don't think I have used latex much before so I'm glad I have managed to get this far and will likely find it useful. -- memoir package is extremely outdated https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/386794 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
