Re: Texlive issues

[Alexander Asteroth]

Dear all,

this issue is resolved, but I have no idea why.

After I noticed that the issue does not occur if I use a fresh
test-account, I resolved this issue by removing my home-directory,
recreating it and create a fresh guix-profile (which actually is not
created freshly, because it is per user and does not live in the users
homedir). Then I repopulated my homedirectory and it all works
fine. Strangly although the directory contains the same files after the
process and the profile is unchanged, still everything works now and
didn't before. Unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce the problem
now. It just disappeared.

(the only thing I can think of is, that the (pseudo-)-recreation of my
profile fixed some problem.

Cheers,

        Alex
