    I wanted to report an issue concerning the installation of TeX
    style-files on a clean SuSE 9.0 system (tetex-2.0.2-48) and a solution.

    texhash doesn't rebuild the TeX-inputfiles-database:

    #texhash
    texhash: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R...
    texhash: /usr/share/texmf/ls-R lacks magic string. Skipping...
    texhash: Updating /var/cache/fonts/ls-R...
    texhash: Done.

    In fact:

    # head -n 3 /usr/share/texmf/ls-R
    .:
    aliases
    bibtex

    I edited /usr/share/texmf/ls-R, and now texhash works fine:

    # head -n 4 /usr/share/texmf/ls-R
    % ls-R -- filename database for kpathsea; do not change this line.
    ./:
    aliases
    bibtex

    # texhash
    texhash: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R...
    texhash: Updating /usr/share/texmf/ls-R...
    texhash: Updating /var/cache/fonts/ls-R...
    texhash: Done.
