Have you tried the instructions for manual package installation here?kronozord wrote:It is possible to install one package without breaking the texlive installation that comes with Ubuntu Maverik?

P.S.: Sorry for the thread highjack.
Personally, however, I'd uninstall the Ubuntu packages and install TeXlive 2010 from CTAN. There are tricks to satisfy dependencies.
Re: ubuntu kile texlive: tlmgr absent
SOLVED - just have to 2 parallel instalations, texlive 2009 and 2010
1. Edit the /etc/enviroment file as root and add the path directly,
like:
`sudo gedit /etc/enviroment`
2. then add the path, it should look something like this (if you distribution is 32 bit)
PATH="/usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/i386-linux:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
3. logout or reboot
4. next puge kile out of you system
`sudo apt-get purge kile kbibtex` then
5. add this PPA https://launchpad.net/~koshi/+archive/ppa
6. update and reinstall kile
P.S. Just one note, when you do a `sudo tlmgr update --all` it wont work. You just have to do a `sudo su` then `tlmgr update --all`
