Description Zrajm C Akfohg 2007-03-19 23:13:45 UTC

On emerging 'iputils' with the USE flag "doc", jadetex is pulled in as a dependency, but it hangs during emerge - showing a "?" prompt, and expecting some input from the user. (!?)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge jadetex
Actual Results:  
Emerge stops, hangs/stops showing an "?" prompt (expecting user to enter something I guess?)

Expected Results:  
I expected a clean, smooth emerge.

This bug occured the first time some months ago, at which time I simply re-emerged with USE="-doc" the jadetex emerge, hoping it would go await with time. (I simply cannot imagine I'm the only one experiencing this!)

Since this bug obviously haven't been reported, I report it now.

output during emerge

This is the output of the 'emerge -v1 iputils' command that hanged.

hmm this is probably related to your tex installation rather than jadetex itself.

What TeX distribution are you using ? tetex ? which version ? texlive ?

I can't find the base file `mf.base'!

this should be installed by your TeX distribution, please reopen with more info.

For the font that cannot be found, I'll also need the TeX distribution, thanks.
