Bug Description

Ubuntu 8.10
Bug in texlive-latex-base (2007.dfsg.1-2) or maybe texlive-latex-recommended (2007.dfsg.1-2). (I'm unsure of the order I installed the packages in but both packages was installed when problem occurred. The problem is a missing part that is in non of the packages). If only this package is installed, LaTeX can't find all fonts:
<ERROR MSG FROM LaTeX>
(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/base/t1enc.def)kpathsea: Running mktextfm ecrm1200
mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input ecrm1200
This is METAFONT, Version 2.71828 (Web2C 7.5.6)

kpathsea: Running mktexmf ecrm1200
! I can't find file `ecrm1200'.
<*> ...ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input ecrm1200

Please type another input file name
! Emergency stop.
<*> ...ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input ecrm1200
<END OF ERROR MSG>

Problem was solved when I installed texlive (2007.dfsg.1-2). I guess that the problem can be solved by adding missing parts to the LaTeX packages above.
