Missing package in OpenSuSE?

Question

I installed texlive2013. Old functioning LaTeX files complain now for missing files:

No file LGRcmr.fd.! LaTeX Error: This NFSS system isn't set up properly.

Asking pdflatex it answers:

For encoding scheme LGR the defaults cmr/m/n do not form a valid font shape

Googling, I found the suggestion to load additional packages: greek-fontenc, greek-inputenc, cbfonts-fd, cbfonts The third one, cbfonts-fd, is nowhere to be found in OpenSuSE:s texlive distribution. The other packages are not enough: Same error shows up after installing them. Where can I found cbfonts-fd ?

According to a comment to Herbert you have a special OpenSuSE version. Maybe there is something buggy. In German usenet group de.comp.text.tex another user complained about this, too. If you understand German, see this answer (but the most important are the web links): https://groups.google.com/d/msg/de.comp.text.tex/qVFZ6sN8ZJw/hDajtb8-Z4oJ In short: first deinstall, then install dummy-package from CTAN, then full vanilla TeX Live. There two alternatives linked, one of them in German. — Speravir, Jan 23 '14 at 04:14

Unfortunately, it doesn't help. After loading, the error persists. LGRcmr.fd is not among those packages. It can be found in cbfonts.fd, but that package does not seem to be available in the OpenSuSE distribution. What am I doing wrong? – MNatiello Jan 20 '14 at 14:40
run updmap --all or for MiKTeX update the font setting – Jan 20 '14 at 14:45
I've done that, but the error is still there. As root, I run mktexlsr; updmap-sys; mktexlsr. Note that there is no option --all. There is a --force, in case you meant that. updmap-sys complains about kanji fonts, but that doesn't matter. On the other hand, running updmap as user gives an error line: updmap: Directory "/var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/updmap" isn't writable: at /usr/bin/updmap line 1302. – MNatiello Jan 20 '14 at 15:14
then it looks like a corrupt NFFS installation. In stall it new. – Jan 20 '14 at 15:23

Thank you. However, I think that the real problem is that there is no package cbfonts-fd in the OpenSuSE distribution. There exists texlive-cbfonts, but not the accompanying cbfonts-fd, which is the one that provides the missing file. At least, I couldn't find cbfonts-fd in the official repository. Am I looking in the wrong place? – MNatiello Jan 20 '14 at 19:26
@MNatiello the package cbfonts-fd is on CTAN... – Adam Liter Jan 23 '14 at 03:59

In 12.3 there is a feature of Zypper for this:

use zypper install 'tex(<<package filename.extension>>)

So for you this will be (Withoutput)

bash:>zypper install 'tex(lgreek.sty)'

Reading installed packages...
'tex(lgreek.sty)' not found in package names. Trying capabilities.

The following NEW packages are going to be installed:

The following recommended package was automatically selected:
