When called by root with no arguments, mktexlsr in Debian ignores TEXMF trees under $HOME. This is to avoid creating undesirable files such as /root/texmf/ls-R when doing usual maintainance (it is generally a bad idea to work with TeX as root, therefore having a file such as /root/texmf/ls-R in the first place is rather pointless). If you really want to update the ls-R databases for such TEXMF trees, simply list them explicitely on the command-line. |
