Description Patrice Dumas 2004-06-27 13:25:33 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510

Description of problem:
Here is what happens when I run latex2html -h:

[pat@localhost pat]$ latex2html -h
 [japanese]Error: No such image type ''.
       This installation supports (first is default):

And the program exits. 

If I call it with a filename it exits with the same error message:

[pat@localhost pat]$ latex2html truc.tex
 [japanese]Error: No such image type ''.
       This installation supports (first is default):

I had a quick look at the code and there are those lines:

unless(grep(/^\Q$IMAGE_TYPE\E$/o, @IMAGE_TYPES)) {
    die <<"EOF";
Error: No such image type '$IMAGE_TYPE'.
       This installation supports (first is default): @IMAGE_TYPES
EOF
}

I didn't found any other occurence of @IMAGE_TYPES. And from the 
error message it seems that $IMAGE_TYPE should have been initialized
with $IMAGE_TYPES[0]. 

I tried to look at the use and require I found that 
/usr/share/latex2html/l2hconf.pm
is used but @IMAGE_TYPES = ()
L2hos/Unix.pm also seems to be used but there is nothing relevant in
that file.

There might be something wrong in my setup, but I doubt it as from 
the code it seems that files required are printed on the screen. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tetex-latex-2.0.2-14

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. latex2html -h 
2. latex2html file.tex
3. See error message
    

Actual Results:  An error message

[japanese]Error: No such image type ''.
       This installation supports (first is default):

Expected Results:  An help message/processinfg of the file

Additional info:

Fixed in tetex-2.0.2-15.
Comment 2 Patrice Dumas 2004-07-13 21:17:55 UTC 
Agreed. The rawhide version works for me.
