Dear all,
A few months ago, the APS (American Physical Society) released the latest version of revtex, 4.1. The thing is, this requires a very up-to-date natbib package, while the one in TeXlive 2007 is considerably older. It's possible that even the natbib present in TeXlive 2009 is too old as well.
I've just found out that Debian and by extension Ubuntu doesn't ship tlmgr, so that the only way to update tex would be through aptitude.
So my question is what would be the recommended way to deal with all this. One option would be forgetting the packaged texlive and going to a vanilla install (not that cool). Another option would be overriding just the packages I need (i.e. just natbib and perhaps revtex4). Finally, is may be possible to install packages in $HOME/.texmf and, hopefully, the packages present here would override both /usr/share/texmf and /usr/local/share/texmf.
Comments? Reccomendations? Anything will be greatly appreciated.
