Follow-up Comment #8, bug #62551 (project groff):
[comment #7 comment #7:] > OK. If we're correct, it's a little concerning that a TeX from a mere two years ago can now prevent a successful groff build. If that's the case, then I'm concerned, too. On the bright side, building from the distribution archive won't see this problem, because doc/groff.{dvi,pdf} are already present in it. > But I suppose if the problem is widespread we'll hear more about it when rc2 hits the streets. If people build straight from Git, yes. But I was suggesting that maybe your TeX installation got messed up somehow. Another possibility is that your installed version of Texinfo is exercising some fairly recent feature of your TeX distribution. This seems unlikely to me, though. It's worth noting that groff doesn't depend on TeX directly, but only via the 'texi2dvi' command. More information would be good. I've got successful builds going in a Debian bullseye chroot with the following version of Tex Live. $ dpkg -l texlive Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-==============-===============-============-===================================================== ii texlive 2020.20210202-3 all TeX Live: A decent selection of the TeX Live packages _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?62551> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
