I am doing a world update and for some reason emerge wants to install jadetex. I don't know why and it fails with a format file problem: *************************************************************** ) Overall statistics: Files processed: 2 Lines processed: 5124 Comments removed: 1018 Comments passed: 0 Codelines passed: 4082 ) ) No pages of output. Transcript written on jadetex.log. tex -ini -progname=jadetex "&latex" jadetex.ini This is TeX, Version 3.141592 (Web2C 7.5.3) (INITEX) ---! /var/lib/texmf/web2c/latex.fmt was written by pdfetex (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied) make: *** [jadetex.fmt] Fehler 1 This happens with jadetex 3.12 und 3.13. I am using tetex 2.99.1.20041026. Could this be the reason for this behaviour? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Emerge jadetex 2. 3.

your again the last to fix it.. ;)
Are you using tetex-3? If so, this is a known problem. You should have been warned in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask before you unmasked it. (xmltex is also broken on tetex-3) Anyhow, I'm working with this problem.
I guess that tetex-2.99.1 is kind of tetex 3, so yes I am using that. I didn't read package.mask before unmasking it, perhaps I should do that in the future. I still don't get why my system wants to emerge that jadetex anyway. Could somebody explain this behaviour?
Passing --debug option to emerge tells you which package wants to install jadetex. It might depend on your USE flag (tetex, doc, and so on).
All right, I fixed jadetex problem in CVS. Please run `emerge sync` and try again.
Hello There, I am having the same problem when trying to install app-text/jadetex-3.13-r2 along with app-text/texlive-2007. My workaround is to rename or delete /var/tmp/texmf/web2c/pdflatex.fmt.
I am terribly sorry for the wrong information. The written-by-pdfetex file in my box is /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdflatex.fmt, and removing it allowed me to emerge app-text/jadetex-3.13-r2 with no trouble.
