When trying to compile a latex file with latex or pdflatex, latex (pdflatex) complains about latex.log and latex.fmt (pdflatex.log and pdflatex.fmt). Emerging additional latex-packages fails with access violation: unlink, rename latex.log and latex.fmt The mentioned files aren't present in /usr/share/texmf/web2c. However, running latex (pdflatex) as root creates the appropriate files and fixes the problems. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerging tetex-2.0.2-r5 2. running latex or pdflatex on a latex file 3. or emerging a latex-package Actual Results: Latex complains about latex.log and latex.fmt. Access Violation when emerging a latex package. Expected Results: Latex or pdflatex should compile the file. The additional packages should emerge.

Don't know if this is amd64 related. Could you remerge tetex-2.0.2-r5 after `emerge -C tetex` and `rm -rf /usr/share/texmf`? (please also remove /usr/local/share/texmf if you have)
I think this is the cause of bug #14598 I just filed...
Excuse me... It's bug #81866, NOT bug #14598.
Arg! Excuse me again... It's #81666.
Seems both of you are using amd64 boxen. Is it amd64 specific issue? (I cannot reproduce the bug on my x86 laptop)
Yes, I'm using an amd64 processor too. I got to need these packages at "emerge system" time by the usage of the "doc" use flag. I don't actually know why it could be so, but yes, it could be an amd64-specific bug...
I've unmerged tetex, deleted /usr/shar/texmf and remerged tetex-2.0.2-r5 but the problem persists. I had a problem with jadetex, too. It's because missing tex.log and tex.fmt. It again can be fixed with running tex on a tex-file as root to creat e the missing files. I'm using amd64, too. I don't have this issue on my x86 notebook.
Excuse me... I got the bug # wrong again... This problem is caused by bug #81866. I managed to work-around it by running as root: tex latex mf pdflatex so that tex.fmt/tex.log latex.fmt/latex.log mf.fmt/mf.log pdflatex.fmt/pdflatex.log get generated. Then my next dependency in "emerge system" (jadetex) emerges as expected.

Okay. This is not amd64 specific. I'll work on this issue.
Well, if there was any doubt, that appears to be a workaround for my x86 box, as well. I executed those commands as root (and then provided a non-existent filename at the prompts), and the necessary files were created. "t1lib" then 'emerge'ed successfully, allowing me to continue with my "xpdf" emerge. Thanks!

the workaround doesn't work with the xcolor package, error follows strip: strip --strip-unneeded >>> Completed installing xcolor-2.00 into /var/tmp/portage/xcolor-2.00/image/ --------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY--------------------------- LOG FILE = "/tmp/sandbox-dev-tex_-_xcolor-2.00-18261.log" mkdir: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/jknappen mkdir: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/jknappen/tc
Workaround for this problem is to disable sandbox (or usersandbox if you are using userpriv) and then emerge latex packages.

(I suppose) I fixed it in CVS. If you had this problem, please remerge tetex-2.0.2-r5 and report back if this works or not.
I just did emerge sync and emerge tetex (after manually moving the files I manually generated to a temporary directory). The fixed ebuild seems to work correctly now. It has installed the missing files into the /usr/share/texmf/web2c directory :)
Works here, too.
Thanks for testing. Closing this bug. (Please don't hesitate to reopen if the bug still persists.)
Mamoru: I guess e.g. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-297923.html relates. How about revision+1?
*** Bug 82728 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Yeah, I was thinking of revision bump for it but I wanted to solve bug #79413 before that. I'll fix that bug and bump tetex to -r6 tonight.
