• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 120359
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Morten Cools 2006-02-25 02:37:40 UTC]

emerging gstreamer-0.8.12 with +doc fails with this error:

Removing doc allows it to build just fine. Not sure if this is a jadetex problem, a gstreamer problem, or some other tex thingy.

Which version of tetex and jadetex are you using?
A quick workaround should be to

find /var/lib/web2c -name "*jade*" -exec rm "{}" \;
emerge jadetex

[Comment 2 Alan Strohm 2006-02-25 13:12:46 UTC]

I have the same problem, here are my versions:

% emerge -pv tetex jadetex

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] app-text/tetex-3.0_p1-r2  USE="X Xaw3d doc -lesstif -motif -neXt" 102,656 kB
[ebuild   R   ] app-text/jadetex-3.13-r1  100 kB

Total size of downloads: 102,757 kB

Also, for that workaround I assume you mean:

find /var/lib/texmf/web2c -name "*jade*" -exec rm "{}" \;
emerge jadetex

??

/var/lib/web2c doesn't exist and I want to make sure before I go deleting stuff.

[Comment 4 Alexandre Buisse (RETIRED) 2006-02-25 15:20:21 UTC]

Ooops. Of course it's /var/lib/texmf/web2c, sorry for the mistake.

[Comment 5 Morten Cools 2006-02-25 15:59:53 UTC]

I have the same versions as Mr. Strohm. Workaround seems to ...well... work :)

[Comment 6 Martin Ehmsen (RETIRED) 2006-06-02 08:08:20 UTC]

Alexandre: This looks like a dupe of the "I'm stymied"-format bug we fixed. There is nothing we can do ebuild-wise to fixed formats that got screwed in the process, except for people to regenerate them (remove them and reemerge).
I don't know how to close this? Comments?

[Comment 7 Leonardo Boshell (RETIRED) 2006-07-03 15:34:04 UTC]

Changing the summary to something more descriptive, sorry for the bug-spam :)

[Comment 8 Paulo J. Matos 2007-02-19 21:06:57 UTC]

Problem here too, workaround works here... too!
