I installed app-text/pandoc-bin on my VM. When I use the following command, I get the following error: Command: pandoc --pdf-engine=lualatex -H <preamble-file.tex> <input-file.md> -o <output-file.pdf> Error: [1] 19126 illegal hardware instruction Here some additional information: Arch: x86_64 Using QEMU on a Windows Host Output of `resolve-march-native`: -march=nocona -madx -mbmi -mbmi2 -mclflushopt -mfsgsbase -mrdseed -msahf -mxsave -mxsavec -mxsaveopt -mxsaves --param=l1-cache-line-size=64 --param=l1-cache-size=32 --param=l2-cache-size=12288
It's built by upstream rather than us, so likely need to report there. Could you use gdb to find the bad instruction? Do any older versions work?
I tried ~amd64 and stable. Probably not useful, but here is the gdb output: ``` Starting program: /usr/bin/pandoc --pdf-engine=lualatex -H preamble.tex dokumentation_cockpit.md -o dokumentation_cockpit.pdf [New LWP 13421] [New LWP 13422] [New LWP 13423] [New LWP 13424] Thread 1 "pandoc" received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction. 0x0000000006413259 in ?? () ```
Do you get anything useful with 'x/i $pc'?
(gdb) x/i $pc => 0x6407fdc: vpxor %xmm5,%xmm5,%xmm5
Thanks. According to https://www.felixcloutier.com/x86/pxor, that's AVX. I can't immediately see where they build their binaries. Could you report this upstream & link it here, noting that the binary appears to be using AVX which isn't available on all 64-bit x86 CPUs?
Upstream issue: https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/8947
After a lot of testing and upstream being very helpful, we found out that this seems to be a regression introduced with pandoc-3. The issue does not occur with pandoc-2 release binaries. I was thinking if it could be worth adding the latest 2- release (2.19.2) to the tree? Also, what I think is a bit strange: For app-text/pandoc `pandoc-3` is not available whereas for app-text/pandoc-bin there are only `pandoc-3` releases.

Would you accept a PR adding the latest version 2 release to pandoc-bin? This would allow users having the same issue to downgrade and mask version 3. And once the issue is solved upstream we could remove version 2?

Upstream fixed the issue with the 3.1.6 release. Thank you for the support to give them the relevant information! Version 2.19.2 can be removed from the tree if you don't want it anymore.
