TeXLive 2012 will likely encounter the following error message when trying to
use a TeX engine (like latex, xelatex, luatex):

You can recognize such a situation in the pacman output during installation:


    >>> texlive: recreating all formats...

    /usr/bin/fmtutil: line 395: /usr/share/texmf/texconfig/tcfmgr: No such file
or directory

    fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found.

     done.


To solve the situation, the simplest solution if you did not do any changes to
files in `/etc/texmf`, is to overwrite configuration files with the `.pacnew`
files installed by `pacman`. The `pacdiff` utility may be used for that purpose.

After merging the configuration files, run the following command:


    fmtutil-sys --all > /dev/null


it should not return error messages: please open a bug report if you see any
problems.

Removing TeXLive 2012 before installing TeXLive 2013 can also workaround the
issue.
