It is natural for things to evolve, and that is true for package names in linux distributions. So the good old tetex package family has evolved to texlive in ubuntu and what used to be one big package has been split to multiple smaller.
So in order to compile my latex files with Greek support and all, i need to install the following packages (and their dependencies) in ubuntu 16.04:


  • texlive
  • texlive-latex-extra
  • texlive-lang-greek
