Package texlive-latex-extra is out of date

[Álvaro Morán]

The package texlive-latex-extra is out of date. Of course I have already run "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade". Just one example: compare the version of the moderncv template found in /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/moderncv/ whith the updated one in CTAN http://ftp.gui.uva.es/sites/ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/moderncv

This older version doesn't work with the the examples provided in CTAN. I imagine that the other templates found in this package are out of date too.

A patch until it is updated is:
wget http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/moderncv/moderncv.cls http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/moderncv/moderncvcompatibility.sty http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/moderncv/moderncvthemecasual.sty http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/moderncv/moderncvthemeclassic.sty http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/moderncv/moderncvthemeempty.sty http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/moderncv/tweaklist.sty
sudo mv moderncv* /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/moderncv/
sudo mv tweaklist.sty /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/moderncv/
sudo texhash #este comando actualiza los ficheros

Anyway the modercv template still needs some updates in order to remove the warning from hyperref, but that is another bug (http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/34910/avoid-hyperref-warnings-in-moderncv)
