When you ran the TeX Live 2009 installation script, did you enable the
'create symlinks' option?

If not, I would run 'sudo tlmgr --gui' (this requires that you have the
perl-tk package installed), then from the Actions menu, click "Handle
symlinks in system dirs".  From the dialog that appears, click the
"Update symbolic links" button.   This will create the symlinks so that
the tlmgr has a symlink in the path.

After that's been done, running 'which tlmgr' should show the result
'/usr/local/bin/tlmgr' or another path to the tlmgr script.  After that,
the install-pkgs.sh script should successfully detect the TeX Live
installation.

If this doesn't work, please let me know and we can investigate it
further.

Checking TeX Live version...Status: install ok installed
No version of TeX Live was detected.
It appears that you do not have TeX Live 2009 installed.  Please follow the
installation instructions on the Ubuntu Manual wiki to install TeX Live 2009:

BUT

apt-cache policy texlive
texlive:
  Installed: 2009-7
  Candidate: 2009-7
  Version table:
 *** 2009-7 0
        500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com lucid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Maybe texlive is not "fully" installed but this is another question... BTW, texlive-base is also installed...

The script seems to be unaware about texlive2009/lucid...
