After syncing the portage tree today, dev-tex/xcolor-2.11 came up with a newly available doc USE flag. I tried to re-emerge the package with the use flag enabled, but it failed with the error: Call stack: ebuild.sh, line 133: Called src_install environment, line 2213: Called latex-package_src_install environment, line 1532: Called latex-package_src_doinstall 'all' environment, line 1523: Called latex-package_src_doinstall 'styles' 'fonts' 'bin' 'doc' environment, line 1514: Called latex-package_src_doinstall 'tex' 'dtx' 'dvi' 'ps' 'pdf' environment, line 1478: Called die The specific snippet of code: texi2dvi -q -c --language=latex $i &> /dev/null || die; I compiled the package again (using ebuild) and tried the texi2dvi command mentioned in the logfile, omitting the quiet (-q) option. The following error came up: Opening logfile "/dev/null" (done) Reading indexstyle... Loading module "/tmp/.private/root/2ycRQxOFOc"... Loading module "lang/general/latin9-lang.xdy"...

If I comment out line 3, the texi2dvi command succeeds and I can emerge dev-tex/xcolor-2.11.

Created attachment 424616 [details, diff] Add option -a to grep The reason for the breakage is the horrible autodetection of current versions of GNU grep for binary files. One should perhaps mask GNU grep for doing such a BS by default ... :( Anyhow, adding -a to grep when generating latin.xdy fixes the problem. The attached patch does this. I suppose that the grep option -a is non-standard, so it might possibly fail on systems not having GNU grep in their $PATH first...
Sorry for the delay, I must have missed the email somehow. I checked this again with the proposed patch and it works as intended, also xcolor compiles without errors.
can this get fix. patch works.
We don't require GNU grep in ebuild context, and POSIX grep doesn't know about the -a option: SYNOPSIS grep [−E|−F] [−c|−l|−q] [−insvx] −e pattern_list [−e pattern_list]... [−f pattern_file]... [file...] grep [−E|−F] [−c|−l|−q] [−insvx] [−e pattern_list]... −f pattern_file [−f pattern_file]... [file...] grep [−E|−F] [−c|−l|−q] [−insvx] pattern_list [file...]
Created attachment 462612 [details, diff] Replace grep by sed Using sed rather than grep may work though. See attached (untested) patch.
sed fix works.
