Created attachment 357218 [details] /var/tmp/portage/app-text/a2ps-4.14-r3/temp/build.log This is may be a regression related to fixed bug #335803. However, no error message appears when patch 'a2ps-4.14-ja-cleanup.patch' is applied. The compile seems to fail with apparent syntax issues when 'a2ps.texi' is processed. >>> Preparing source in /var/tmp/portage/app-text/a2ps-4.14-r3/work/a2ps-4.14 ... * Applying a2ps-4.13c-locale-gentoo.diff ...

As a temporary measure, I used this workaround: LINGUAS="" emerge -1 =app-text/a2ps-4.14-r3 as I got confused while reading the above noted bug's comments. # eix app-text/a2ps [I] app-text/a2ps Available versions: 4.14-r1^t 4.14-r2^t 4.14-r3^t {emacs latex nls static-libs vanilla LINGUAS="ja" USERLAND="BSD GNU"} Installed versions: 4.14-r3^t(06:17:19 AM 08/16/2013)(nls -emacs -latex -static-libs -vanilla LINGUAS="-ja" USERLAND="GNU -BSD") Homepage: http://www.inf.enst.fr/~demaille/a2ps/ Description: Any to PostScript filter
Same problem here. Found a patch and created an ebuild that applies that patch. It compiles with texinfo 5.x.
Created attachment 372630 [details, diff] corrects compilation with texinfo 5.x Patch extracted from https://abf.rosalinux.ru/openmandriva/a2ps/blob/master/a2ps-4.14-texinfo-5.x.patch
Created attachment 372632 [details] ebuild that applies the textinfo patch Applies the patch texinfo 5.x.
I can confirm that Alexandre's patch and modified ebuild allow it to install correctly. Simply move into the "/usr/portage/app-text/a2ps" directory, add the patch (attachment 372630 [details, diff]) to the "files" directory (it should be named "a2ps-4.14-texinfo-5.x.patch"), replace "a2ps-4.14-r3.ebuild" with the modified ebuild (attachment 372632 [details]), remove the manifest, and rebuild the manifest with the command "ebuild a2ps-4.14-r3.ebuild manifest".
emerge as normal. When the portage tree updates, these changes will be lost, so just apply them again until the tree is updated permanently.
Apparently this is still broken after 3 years? Using the above patch and ebuild I was finally able to install a2ps. I take it this is not going to get fixed and I should just move the whole thing to my local portage tree?
@printing and @cjk teams, I confirm that proposed patch works with the latest texinfo-6.1. Hereby I propose (see r3 -> r4 diff below): - update ebuild to EAPI 6; - add missing die calls; - include patch from comment 4; - drop unused patch a2ps-4.13c-psset.patch from ${FILESDIR}. I will apply these changes in two weeks if there is no objection (or earlier if you approve).
