Package: texlive-base-bin Version: 2007-5 Severity: critical Hi, When the postinst script runs and it comes to 'Building formats', after several minutes of doing so, the system runs out of memory. The process "eats" all the available memory, both phisical (512MB RAM) and virtual (1GB swap). After that the system simply freezes and is unrecoverable.
Regards, rjc -- Package-specific info: If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries (latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the error in your report. Don't forget to also include minimal examples of other files that are needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures! If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem), you can probably minimize it further. Instructions on how to do that can be found at http://www.latex-einfuehrung.de/mini-en.html (english) or http://www.latex-einfuehrung.de/mini.html (german) ################################## minimal input file ################################## other files -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.20-1-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_GB.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages texlive-base-bin depends on: ii ed 0.2-20 The classic unix line editor ii libc6 2.5-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpng12-0 1.2.15~beta5-1 PNG library - runtime ii libpoppler0c2 0.5.0-1 PDF rendering library ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxaw7 1:1.0.3-3 X11 Athena Widget library ii libxmu6 1:1.0.3-1 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxpm4 1:3.5.6-2 X11 pixmap library ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-2 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii mime-support 3.39-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii perl 5.8.8-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii texlive-common 2007-4 TeX Live: Base component ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime Versions of packages texlive-base-bin recommends: ii perl-tk 1:804.027-7 Perl module providing the Tk graph Versions of packages tex-common depends on: ii cdebconf 0.115 Debian Configuration Management Sy ii debconf 1.5.13 Debian configuration management sy ii ucf 2.0021 Update Configuration File: preserv Versions of packages texlive-base-bin is related to: pn tetex-base <none> (no description available) pn tetex-bin <none> (no description available) pn tetex-extra <none> (no description available) -- debconf information: tex-common/check_texmf_wrong: tex-common/check_texmf_missing: tex-common/singleuser: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
