Bug#335550: Problems with jadetex
Hi, I've just got this bug too. The problem is caused by this line : etex -ini -jobname=jadetex -progname=jadetex latex jadetex.ini [ iirc, this line comes from the parsing of the /etc/texmf/fmt.d/40jadetex.cnf. ] This line is interpreted by the shell as the following two lines : $ etex -ini -jobname=jadetex -progname=jadetex $ latex jadetex.ini The correct line should be : $ etex -ini -jobname=jadetex -progname=jadetex \latex jadetex.ini imho, fmtutil/fmtutils-sys should be fixed to handle correctly this separator. Unfortunately, I don't know how to fix this. I hope that this information will help you in solving this issue.

The problem is caused by this line : etex -ini -jobname=jadetex -progname=jadetex latex jadetex.ini No, at least not in the original bug report: On Piem's system, there was an old conffile for jadetex which tried to use the tex executable to create the jadetex format, but this failed because it must load the latex.fmt which was created by pdfetex instead of Knuth's tex. [ iirc, this line comes from the parsing of the /etc/texmf/fmt.d/40jadetex.cnf. ] Well, rather from parsing /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf which is generated from the files in /etc/texmf/fmt.d/. This line is interpreted by the shell as the following two lines : $ etex -ini -jobname=jadetex -progname=jadetex $ latex jadetex.ini This is wrong, because the string latex jadetex.ini is saved in the variable texargs, and later the executable is called with $texargs als the last argument. You can easily check that it works: $ myarg=goodbye $ echo hallo goodbye hallo [3] 9984 bash: goodbye: command not found [3] Doneecho hallo $ echo hallo $myarg hallo goodbye $ imho, fmtutil/fmtutils-sys should be fixed to handle correctly this separator. Unfortunately, I don't know how to fix this. ...because is already works Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ. Zürich Debian Developer

My guess is, that at some point you refused to update the configuration files for jadetex, because current jadetex packages build all their formats with (pdf)etex. I had the same problem and could solve it by purging jadetex and reinstalling it after successful tetex upgrade. Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | I don't trust Computers.

I had the same problem and could solve it by purging jadetex and reinstalling it after successful tetex upgrade. yes, as i mentioned in my report, i did purge jadetex to fix the problem, so i can't tell what was in fmt.d at that time. well, i could take the time to look for that version in my backups if needed. cheers, piem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi Paul, thanks for reporting this problem. For whatever reason it didn't reach our mailing list. I only saw it right now in the web interface. We had that recently with another bugreport. Maybe these messages are simply to large for the mailing list software? Anyway, concerning your bug report. You get the error message: This is a summary of all `failed' messages and warnings: `tex -ini -jobname=jadetex -progname=jadetex latex jadetex.ini' failed The error message from tetex.postinst.XXhnN5lJ is: This is TeX, Version 3.141592 (Web2C 7.5.4) (INITEX) ---! /var/lib/texmf/web2c/latex.fmt was written by pdfetex (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied) Here it is tried to build the jadetex format with the TeX engine. Problem is, that it uses the LaTeX format, which was build with the pdfetex engine. What files do you have in '/etc/texmf/fmt.d/'? What's the content of '/etc/texmf/fmt.d/40jadetex.cnf'?
