Attempting to emerge app-text/tetex-2.0.2-r3 with the maketest FEATURE throws an error during the test phase (make check), see below. I can only reproduce this error, if tetex is not installed before the emerge. If tetex is already installed, "emerge -b tetex" is succesful even with "maketest" in FEATURES. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -C tetex 2. insert "maketest" into FEATURES 3. emerge tetex Actual Results: emerge aborts during the test phase Expected Results: emerging the ebuild correctly This is the output of "emerge -b tetex": ... ... >>> Test phase [check]: app-text/tetex-2.0.2-r3 cd texk; TEXMF=/var/tmp/portage/tetex-2.0.2-r3/work/tetex-src-2.0.2/texmf TEXMFCNF=/var/tmp/portage/tetex-2.0.2-r3/work/tetex-src-2.0.2/texmf/web2c make check ... ... make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/tetex-2.0.2-r3/work/tetex-src-2.0.2/texk/web2c' test -f tests/exampl.aux || \ cp ./tests/exampl.aux tests/exampl.aux TEXMFCNF=../kpathsea/texmf.cnf BSTINPUTS=./tests ./bibtex tests/exampl This is BibTeX, Version 0.99c (Web2C 7.4.5) The top-level auxiliary file: tests/exampl.aux I couldn't open database file xampl.bib ---line 1 of file tests/exampl.aux : \bibdata{xampl : } I'm skipping whatever remains of this command The style file: apalike.bst I found no database files---while reading file tests/exampl.aux Warning--I didn't find a database entry for "whole-journal" Warning--I didn't find a database entry for "whole-set" Warning--I didn't find a database entry for "whole-collection" Warning--I didn't find a database entry for "whole-proceedings" Warning--I didn't find a database entry for "book-full" (There were 2 error messages) make[2]: *** [bibtex-check] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/tetex-2.0.2-r3/work/tetex-src-2.0.2/texk/web2c' make[1]: *** [check] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/tetex-2.0.2-r3/work/tetex-src-2.0.2/texk' make: *** [check] Error 2 !!!

Priority is low at the moment, but I'll fix it after tetex-3 is released. Thanks for the bug report.

Done in -r9, and tetex-3 is out and stable.
