After a reasonable period of disuse, I updated my system. I got through the update with a few minor problems, but when trying to run revdep-rebuild, pdftex is chosen to be rebuilt. However, it receives that error every time. I've tried re-emerging kpathsea, checking to ensure there are no updates, and various other things. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to compile pdftex via emerge -av pdftex, or through revdep-rebuild, or however 2. 3. Actual Results: Errors (build log attached). Expected Results: No errors; the application compiles successfully.
Sorry, I can't attach the build log, because KDE is lying in pieces around me, and attempting to open a file dialogue causes my browser to crash and burn (hopefully a good old-fashioned reboot will fix that, but I'm too scared to do so until I can get revdep-rebuild to run, and that won't work while this bug still exists, so it's a bit of a problem). So, I'll just post the build log as a web attachment. emerge --info =dev-tex/pdftex-1.40.10 : Portage 2.1.10.11 (default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop/kde, gcc-4.4.5, glibc-2.12.2-r0, 2.6.36-gentoo-r5 i686)

Created attachment 283403 [details] Build log I can confirm the bug. pdftex has to be recompiled after an upgrade of poppler to version 0.16.7. You can find the whole build log in the attachment.
Ran into the same problem on amd64 arch. Tried to reinstall kpathsea, but it made no difference. Added accept_keyword for dev-tex/pdftex-1.40.11 1.40.11 installed fine. Some notes for Murray: If your revdep-rebuild fail on a package, you can continue with the rest of the packages with: emerge --resume --skip-first You can also have the same effect by given the option --keep-going to emerge like this: revdep-rebuild -- --keep-going If you have rebuild the rest of the system (using the option above or the like), you should be safe to reboot. On my system the only dependency on pdftex was ufo-ai, so I suspect that you do not have any essential dependencies on pdftex. You can check with: equery depends pdftex
I have spent a bit of time looking into this bug. It looks like the function name has changed from kpse_setprogname() to kpse_set_program_name(), and the number of variables changed from one to two. However, there is some tangle magic going on during the make phase, and a simple change of the names (with a null string parameter appended) didn't produce results. What I did identify is that texlive includes pdftex, so it shouldn't be necessary to have this package separately installed if you have texlive. I have, so I removed the package, and pdftex is still present from texlive.
dev-tex/pdftex is in package.mask since a long time: # Alexis Ballier <aballier@gentoo.org> (20 Aug 2011) # dev-tex/pdftex-1.40.11 is 100% identical to the one in TeX Live 2010; # TeX Live 2011 has a newer version, which makes the standalone package useless; # mask it for now, we'll see about removing it later. dev-tex/pdftex Was there any new release of the standalone version in the mean time (HOMEPAGE still refers to 1.40.10)? If not, maybe it is time to remove this package? CCing QA, because cleaning up old package.mask entries is on our agenda.
CCing treecleaners then
removed; use the pdftex provided by texlive-core
