[Debian-in-workers] Problem opening files used by Itrans

[R (Chandra) Chandrasekhar]

Dear Folks,

I am trying o use itrans on a Kubuntu Feisty system on a PC. I have compiled 
from itrans, itrans-doc and itrans-fonts from Gutsy Sources using prevu and 
installed them successfully:

sudo dpkg -l itrans itrans-doc itrans-fonts

gives

  ||/ Name           Version        Description
+++-==============-==============-============================================
ii  itrans         5.3-4~7.04prev Converts romanized Indic texts to Latex, HTM
ii  itrans-doc     5.3-4~7.04prev Documentation for the ITRANS Indic text proc
ii  itrans-fonts   5.3-4~7.04prev fonts used in the ITRANS Indic text processi

However, on using itrans to compile a file called totaka.itx, using:

------------
itrans -v -i totaka.itx -o x.tex

I got

** ITRANS 5.30 (8 July 2001) (TeX Interface)
Loading IFM file dvng.ifm ... (reading IFM file /usr/share/itrans/lib/dvng.ifm) 
font.c::Error: could not open dvng10.tfm for reading (tfm)

Error: fillup font error (fill up from dvng.ifm)
Error: could not load in IFM file (line 46, #indianifm=dvng.ifm)

FYI,locate dvng10.tfm

gives the following system locations:

/usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/tfm/public/velthuis/dvng10.tfm
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/itrans-fonts/dvng10.tfm

and ls -al for these files gives:

ls -al /usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/tfm/public/velthuis/dvng10.tfm

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1576 2006-06-19 20:26 
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/tfm/public/velthuis/dvng10.tfm

and

ls -al /usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/itrans-fonts/dvng10.tfm

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1556 2007-06-23 09:10 
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/itrans-fonts/dvng10.tfm

Further, I get:

ls -al /usr/share/itrans/lib/dvng.?fm

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34003 2007-06-23 09:10 /usr/share/itrans/lib/dvng.ifm

------------

Are you in a position to assist, please? I am happy to try out any minimal file 
you may suggest to try tracing this problem.

FYI, this file worked with the manually installed itrans that used at one time, 
but I thought I would give the Debian-based Ubuntu packages a go and have foundered.

Thanks in advance.
