Package: texlive-binaries Version: 2018.20180907.48586-2 Severity: important
The routine update of the texlive packages in testing this morning broke context on my system. Compiling any context files would fail with a lua error; this was true both for my own files and for the Hello-World.tex from Context Garden. I resolved the issue on my system by manually reverting to the previous debs for texlive-base and for texlive-binaries and its dependencies. When I tried to re-run the upgrade to get more detailed info about the lua error for this bug report, I found that the packages will now not install at all: when I do 'apt-get dist-upgrade', it hangs at the stage of generating the context formats. The lua error involved complaining about something being ‘a nil value’; I’m sorry I can’t be more specific, since I can no longer get the problematic packages to install to reproduce the error. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (110, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages texlive-binaries depends on: ii dpkg 1.19.2 ii install-info 6.5.0.dfsg.1-4+b1 ii libbrotli1 1.0.7-1 ii libc6 2.27-8 ii libcairo2 1.16.0-1 ii libfontconfig1 2.13.1-2 ii libfreetype6 2.8.1-2 ii libgcc1 1:8.2.0-9 ii libgmp10 2:6.1.2+dfsg-3 ii libgraphite2-3 1.3.12-1 ii libgs9 9.25~dfsg-7 ii libharfbuzz-icu0 1.9.0-1 ii libharfbuzz0b 1.9.0-1 ii libice6 2:1.0.9-2 ii libicu60 60.2-6 ii libkpathsea6 2018.20180907.48586-2 ii libmpfr6 4.0.1-1 ii libpaper1 1.1.24+nmu5 ii libpixman-1-0 0.34.0-2 ii libpng16-16 1.6.34-2 ii libpotrace0 1.15-1 ii libptexenc1 2018.20180907.48586-2 ii libsm6 2:1.2.2-1+b3 ii libstdc++6 8.2.0-9 ii libsynctex2 2018.20180907.48586-2 ii libtexlua52 2018.20180907.48586-2 ii libtexlua53 2018.20180907.48586-2 ii libtexluajit2 2018.20180907.48586-2 ii libwoff1 1.0.2-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.7-1 ii libxaw7 2:1.0.13-1+b2 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1+b2 ii libxi6 2:1.7.9-1 ii libxmu6 2:1.1.2-2 ii libxpm4 1:3.5.12-1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.5-1 ii libxxhash0 0.6.5-1 ii libzzip-0-13 0.13.62-3.1 ii perl 5.28.0-3 ii t1utils 1.41-2 ii tex-common 6.10 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-1 Versions of packages texlive-binaries recommends: ii texlive-base 2018.20181009-1 texlive-binaries suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
