Bug 24574 – Problem emerging jadetex while upgrading to gentoo 1.4

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Chris Paulson-Ellis 2003-07-16 01:39:20 UTC]

I'm upgrading a machine from gentoo 1.0 to 1.4. During the emerge -e world, the 
build of jadetex-3.12 fails as shown below. The error message is most unhelpful 
(thanks Donald:-) & I can't find any log files from the invocation of tex to 
give me something to go on. 

The previous package to be recompiled was tetex-1.0.7-r12 (the autoclean 
removed tetex-1.0.7-r10), so I tex _should_ be working. 

Does anyone have any idea how I can diagnose the problem? Perhaps there are 
some old tetex files that I need to delete, or something. 

Chris.

there was an anomly in the packages.mask file which caused this. should have been fixed a little while back. try rsyncing and try again. 

[Comment 2 Chris Paulson-Ellis 2003-07-19 13:46:18 UTC]

I tried, but it didn't fix it.

However, manually merging tetex-2.0.2 (which is currently ~x86 in portage) instead of tetex-1.0.7-r12 fixed my problem.

I've recently had the same problem. I emerged the masked tetex 2.0 to emerge jadetex. I rsynced and downgraded back to tetex 1.0 and re-emerged jadetex, and I'm still having this issue. I've remerged the masked tetex, and that's what I'll continue using.

[Comment 4 Sascha Wuestemann 2003-12-02 10:23:52 UTC]

I ran into the same problem.

updating tetex solved it:

[ebuild     U ] app-text/tetex-2.0.2-r3 [1.0.7-r13] +X

dunno which else dependencies were involved, so here is my emerge info:
