LaTeX Error: file 'breakcites.sty' not found on Fedora 24/25?
I found the solution for Fedora 24 thanks to the help provided by Skillmon comment.
I installed the Fedora Rawhide x86_64 package: "texlive-breakcites-svn21014-32.fc26.1.noarch.rpm". I did provide the link in the question.
sudo dnf install PathToRPMFile/texlive-breakcites-svn21014-32.fc26.1.noarch.rpm
Then I restarted the system.
In the TeX Live Arch Linux Wiki provided thankfully by Skillmon Arch Wiki I issued on my Fedora terminal (with sudo) the following commands:
sudo mktexlsr
and also this command
sudo texhash
This have done some refreshing of directory indexes (even that did not happen after the system restart for unknown reason!!). This makes the breakcites package work on all future LaTeX projects and thus solved the error.

I am using Fedora 24 and have installed all possible TeX packages
sudo dnf install tex\* sudo dnf install texlive-\*
etc...
I am using TeX Maker 4.5. How can I solve the 'breakcites.sty' not found problem? I tried to install some rpms found here but with no success. I downloaded a breakcites.tzr.xz but could not know how to include the sty file that is included inside.
Any suggestions on how to install this on Fedora 24 / Fedora 25 (I have another machine with Fedora 25)?
General answers if possible that works for Fedora and other distros might be helpful and well appreciated in case someone has the same problem for other distros. Thanks in advance for the help.

Skillmon over 6 yearsPut the sty-file in the same folder as your project. This has to be done for all projects using that package. Alternatively add it to your local textree and recache that (on Arch the command is
mktexlsr
). This way it's usable for every tex-project on your machine. -
HB87 over 6 yearsThanks Skillmon. Can you show me how to add that so that it works on all projects not only the current one like how to "add it to your local textree and recache that (on Arch the command is mktexlsr" on Fedora terminal if you know that. Even the full procedure on Arch Linux terminal is a good start. Please. Thanks for the help!

Skillmon over 6 yearsTake a look at the arch-wiki for the procedure. I don't know whether this is completely the same on Fedora. Link: wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/TeX_Live#Install_.sty_files

Albert over 3 yearsJust for reference, on Ubuntu, you need
sudo apt install texlive-bibtex-extra
to getbreakcites.sty
.

Boris over 6 yearsYou do not need to restart the system after installation of a TeX package.

HB87 over 6 yearsThanks Boris. I think the restart is not needed as you said and did not do anything. The refreshing of indexes normally sort things out.
