I confirm to myself that ucs is the right package to install to get utf8x.def and utf8.def is included in the latex package. You can run tlmgr info --list latex to see utf8.def.

    I installed TeX Live and I have a document containing this line:

    \usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
    

    The document used to compile years ago, but now it does not seem to find utf8x.

    What I did to install TeX Live with the network installer:

    $ perl install install-pl
    $ sudo tlmgr install latex latex-bin
    

    Am I forgetting to install additionnal stuff?

    SOLVED

    Searching on ctan.org, I found that utf8x.def is in the ucs package, which means that I need to install it: sudo tlmgr install ucs. It solved my problem, but can someone confirm that it is the "standard" way to get this file? And for utf8.def, is it included in the latex package?

      I removed the part with babel in my question, as I forgot to install the package for my language : sudo tlmgr install babel-<language>. kpsewhich inputenc returns nothing

      Please provide us with a minimal example (or here) then that demonstrates the problem. And add \listfiles to the preamble and add the very end of the .log, which should list where pdfTeX is (not) finding the files.

      Yes you need the ucs package for that, please make an answer rather than put the answer in the question (you can accept your own answer)
