Description Garrett Skjelstad 2006-01-06 09:06:26 UTC

There is an error in the compilation of fdutils, (with or without the 'DOC' USE flag) it gives error: 

texi2dvi Fdutils.texi
This is e-TeX, Version 3.141592-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
---! /var/lib/texmf/web2c/etex.fmt was written by pdfetex
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)
/usr/bin/texi2dvi: texinfo.tex appears to be broken, quitting.
make[1]: *** [Fdutils.dvi] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/fdutils-5.5/work/fdutils-5.5/doc'
make: *** [comp-doc] Error 2

apparently it doesn't know how to handle an error from texi2dvi (I'm new, so I'm not sure... if I need to post more information)

Please, post the version you are trying to emerge and the output of "emerge info".

I've just cleaned up some other stuff in the fdutils ebuild (lazy binding, and a doc install failure).

If this persists for you, please re-open with emerge --info and list your versions of
virtual/tetex.
