Hi:
I have troubles also with latex but in the alst LTS editio of Ubuntu. I used to install the TeXlive full edition from repositories in Ubuntu and once in Fedora. But now I see there are a lot of old packages so, sometimes you can't work as well as you wish with a normal installation.
Last month I was in troubles because of that. My suggestion is to forget the instalation you did, and instead of that erase thos package. Now you have two choices:
The result is the same in both cases, and if you are like me and need a lot of packages because you use the most of them for work, this is maybe the best way for do it. If you have doubts or are in troubles with this, let us know it.
Good luck:
