Error in Latex using texmaker ubuntu 16 tracklang.sty

Question

I am using glossaries in texmaker in ubuntu 16.04 and when I tried to compile and old project that was working in ubuntu 14.04 and I got this error:

! LaTeX Error: File `tracklang.sty' not found.Type X to quit or to proceed,or enter new name. (Default extension: sty)Enter file name:! Emergency stop. \@gls@usetranslator

I found these similar questions: Question1, question2 but they are for windows (MiKTeX)

Welcome. It seems that the package https://ctan.org/pkg/tracklang was not installed. Please consider to add ad MWE, see https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/228/ive-just-been-asked-to-write-a-minimal-example-what-is-that. — CampanIgnis, Jul 17 '17 at 17:14
@CampanIgnis sorry I didn't put a minimal example, but sometimes is complicated to extract the error from a huge document that was already working on another computer. — aburbanol, Jul 17 '17 at 17:18

as @CampanIgnis suggested the missing package was tracklang I found it in texlive-plain-generic. I install it as:

sudo apt-get install texlive-generic-extra

This is the cause but isn't that explicit already in the error message that you put in the question? – David Carlisle Jul 17 '17 at 19:20
On Arch Linux, install texlive-plaingeneric. – starbeamrainbowlabs Sep 29 '23 at 17:11
