Package: texlive-base-bin Version: 2007-7 Followup-For: Bug #421969 While trying to upgrade this package, a huge number of etex and pdfetex sub-processes were created. Probably hundreds of them ! It ate all my memory (i.e. more than 2GB of RAM) and I had to kill them by hand to regain control over my computer. Obviously, the install then fails.
-- 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 ###################################### List of ls-R files -rw-rw-r-- 1 root users 1055 2007-05-22 11:12 /var/lib/texmf/ls-R lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 2007-04-23 21:47 /usr/share/texmf/ls-R -> /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXMFMAIN lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 2007-05-22 10:13 /usr/share/texmf-texlive/ls-R -> /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXLIVE lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 2007-05-22 10:13 /usr/share/texmf-texlive/ls-R -> /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXLIVE ###################################### Config files lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2007-04-23 21:47 /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf -> /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2871 2007-05-22 11:12 /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3919 2007-05-22 11:12 /var/lib/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1835 2007-05-22 11:12 /var/lib/texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat ###################################### md5sums of texmf.d 25bf3a257a0bedb5c67349c3eaff74af /etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf 5f7f6652cc8b8071c9e4ea6ba9e9f0a1 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/15Plain.cnf 589b39396bf292237eb7ea037cf199f6 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/20xmltex.cnf e95ae4d6b002ade290425bd74a175a83 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/45TeXinputs.cnf ea33127256c6a9f37145ae5b16fdb80c /etc/texmf/texmf.d/55Fonts.cnf 15cd7cfba075d781fa71dfd994ca72ce /etc/texmf/texmf.d/65BibTeX.cnf 9da7c1c7b1eaf06f941af91f48a23068 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/75DviPS.cnf 7952e5392660042fb4b84e67a3b85463 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/85Misc.cnf 7e8f87acdeba48edac16d851c77b9e75 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/90TeXDoc.cnf e3b19f249b562f21556a3ea2abc17678 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/95NonPath.cnf acf41c0aba2dda442815ad037c7c909e /etc/texmf/texmf.d/96passivetex.cnf.disable -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (800, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (50, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18ibm Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages texlive-base-bin depends on: ii ed 0.2-20 The classic unix line editor ii libc6 2.5-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpng12-0 1.2.15~beta5-2 PNG library - runtime ii libpoppler0c2 0.4.5-5.1 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 1:3.5.6-3 X11 pixmap library ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 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 2007-6 TeX Live: Base component ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-15 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 debconf 1.5.13 Debian configuration management sy ii ucf 3.001 Update Configuration File: preserv Versions of packages texlive-base-bin is related to: ii tetex-base 2007-6 TeX Live: teTeX transitional packa 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".
