build log

Latest sane-backends has problems building its documentation:

Error in ghostcript command
command was: gs -q -dNOPAUSE -sAutoRotatePages=None -dAutoFilterColorImages=false -dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -sOutputFile=figs/area.pdf - -c quit

Without MAKEOPTS=-j1 I happened to see three more of these, for figs/image-data.pdf, figs/hierarchy.pdf and figs/flow.pdf.

I have app-text/ghostscript-gpl-9.21 and media-gfx/transfig-3.2.5e installed.

emerge --info

Contrary to what I expected, USE=-doc didn't solve this.
Comment 2 Serge Gavrilov 2017-11-03 00:23:43 UTC 
The working workaround for me was 

eselect infinality set ultimate-free

This yields

# fc-match helvetica
LiberationSans-Regular.ttf: "Liberation Sans" "Regular"

Before I had 

eselect infinality set infinality

and "helvetica" was actually Arial. This somehow breaks ghostscript.

Comment 5 Martin von Gagern 2017-11-04 21:33:31 UTC 
Don't seem to have infinality here. Not sure what a clean fix would be for me.

# fc-match helvetica
texgyreheros-regular.otf: "TeX Gyre Heros" "Regular"
# eselect infinality
!!! Error: Can't load module infinality
exiting
# qfile -v -b texgyreheros-regular.otf

Comment 6 Serge Gavrilov 2017-11-04 21:48:31 UTC 
Try to reconfigure fontconfig to substitute another font instead of Helvetica.
Comment 7 Martin von Gagern 2017-12-15 17:09:16 UTC 
I don't know what changed in my config, but during today's world update, the sane-backends-1.0.27 package suddenly emerged successfully, without me taking any manual action. I see no difference to comment 5.
Comment 8 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2018-04-02 11:59:20 UTC 
closing as obsolete (this looks to me as a ghostscript bug anyway, for the case it reappears)
