LaTeX Error: File `layaureo.sty’ not found

| debian | LaTeX

I was getting the error ./cv.tex:11: LaTeX Error: File `layaureo.sty' not found. when trying to compile an old tex document of mine.

It seems layaureo is missing from TexLive 2009, the default on Debian at the moment (even though it’s 2012 now!). So I had to install TexLive 2011 from Debian Unstable using Apt Pinning to fix this problem.

Once TexLive 2011 is installed apt-get install -t unstable texlive-lang-italian to bring in the layaureo package.

I also encountered the following problems that was easier to resolve:

LaTeX Error: File `marvosym.sty' not found. solution: apt-get install texlive-fonts-recommended
LaTeX Error: File `fullpage.sty' not found. solution: apt-get install texlive-latex-extra
LaTeX Error: File `multibib.sty' not found. solution: apt-get install texlive-bibtex-extra
LaTeX Error: File `algorithm.sty' not found. solution: apt-get install texlive-science
