Package: tex-common Version: 2.03 Severity: normal
A metapost file with: *btex etex*, inside do not compile. No problem without btex-etex. I found that the error is coming from the following line of texmf.cnf: ---------------------------- % Used by makempx to run TeX. We use "etex" because MetaPost is % expecting DVI, and not "tex" because we want first line parsing. TEX = etex ---------------------------- because etex is gone. The command: export TEX=latex && mpost logistic.mp compile the file logistic.mp (I got a font error from gv: undefined in /cmr10).
