Title:
  texlive-binaries is suggested when trying to run 'mktexfmt', but does
  not provide it

Status in The Linux Mint Distribution:
  New
Status in “command-not-found” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On Linux Mint 16, the package manager recommends installing "texlive-
  binaries" when user attempts to run "mktexfmt", but that package does
  not provide any such program.

  Workaround: the package "texlive-base" actually provides mktexfmt.
