If I ask xmlto 0.0.22 to generate either Postscript or PDF files from my Docbook XML files, it will silently fail without any errors on console. Only if I examine the generated tmp.log in the temporary xmlto-* in the /tmp directory do I see that there is a problem, it needs a missing soul.sty file. This missing soul.sty file comes from the dev-texlive/texlive-latexextra package which should have been installed when I installed xmlto. I think the ebuild needs updating to ensure that this package is installed if it is not already installed. After I installed the missing package, xmlto starts failing with errors. The same DocBook xml files that I use do not have any problems when I generate HTML versions so something else must be wrong but I am not sure. I have also e-mailed upstream about this and now awaiting an answer at the moment, there might be something else that xmlto needs. Also, there is a newer version available upstream (0.0.23). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. xmlto postscript Framebuffer-HOWTO.xml (yes I wrote that!) 2. xmlto silently fails After installing missing package (dev-texlive/texlive-latexextra) 1. xmlto postscript Framebuffer-HOWTO.xml 2. xmlto now fails with errors (maybe missing additional packages causing this)
