I am running a debian sid system on a Dell dimension 8300 PC (2.6.18-3-686

some packages to day. I removed the tetex packages and installed texlive
(initially including texlive-base, texlive-bin, texlive-common and
subsequently texlive-all). After this, the system cannot find the ams.sty
file for the American Mathematical Society package (which should
apparently be installed with texlive-base -- this package is listed as
installed at version 2007-4).

Using find /usr/share -iname amy.sty turned up nothing either.

Any ideas what could be going wrong?

Wasn't ams.sty deprecated years ago? And wasn't it amstex.sty?
amsmath.sty is in texlive-latex-base. amssymb.sty is in texlive-base.
Why they're separated, I have no idea.


You are right. For some reason I had included the ams package in the latex file I was working on as well as the amsmath package. Deleting the reference to ams solved the problem.

Thanks for the help!, Peter
