Unfortunately the pandoc-pdf subpackage is not shipped in RHEL8. Maybe you try installing pandoc-pdf-2.0.6-4.el8 from https://koji.mbox.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1485 With that at least `pandoc -o test.pdf` works for me. But I can reproduce your problem with `pandoc --pdf-engine=lualatex -o test.pdf`. I looks like the texlive in RHEL8 does not provide ucharcat.sty. In Fedora, texlive-collection-latex and texlive-ec seem to be sufficient but maybe more precise dependencies are required to avoid this problem. In Fedora texlive-ucharcat provides ucharcat.sty. In RHEL8 texlive-unicode-math does not require/pull-in texlive-ucharcat apparently. So it looks like RHEL8 texlive is a subset of Fedora's texlive. My workaround for now is: As it is a noarch package installing texlive-ucharcat-svn38907-20.fc29.noarch from Fedora29 helps (to not diverge to much from EL8). The PDF output with pandoc --pdf-engine works with that FC29 rpm. $ rpm -qa |egrep 'pandoc|ucharca|texlive-2'|sort pandoc-2.0.6-4.el8.x86_64 pandoc-common-2.0.6-4.el8.noarch texlive-20180414-14.el8.x86_64 texlive-ucharcat-svn38907-20.fc29.noarch $ rpm -ql texlive-ucharcat-svn38907-20.fc29.noarch /usr/share/licenses/texlive-ucharcat /usr/share/licenses/texlive-ucharcat/lppl1.txt /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/ucharcat /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/ucharcat/ucharcat.sty $ rpm -qi texlive-ucharcat-svn38907-20.fc29.noarch |grep Source Source RPM : texlive-2018-20.fc29.src.rpm IMO: the solution would be the extension of the texlive subset ? It's the intention to keep texlive in 8 small, many texlive extensions are therefore included in texlive-extention in epel8. If someone needs more texlive extensions, please open the bug in texlive-extension in epel and make a request. Please have a look at: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2020-b907b63b2f https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1542152 There's new version texlive-extension-20180414-4.epel8 which includes the ucharcat.sty. Thanks (In reply to Than Ngo from comment #4) > It's the intention to keep texlive in 8 small, many texlive extensions are > therefore included in texlive-extention in epel8. As pandoc shows a regression, its not an additional its mandatory extension thats missing, IMO. > If someone needs more texlive extensions, please open the bug in > texlive-extension in epel and make a request. I thought about that and opened a bug report 3 month ago: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1820194 > Please have a look at: > https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2020-b907b63b2f > https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1542152 > > There's new version texlive-extension-20180414-4.epel8 which includes the > ucharcat.sty. Thats look promising, thanks. Nope. Not promising. dnf --enablerepo=epel list | grep texlive-extension # no output. Package is gone. As usual, it's Red Hat, so, no bug is ever fixed properly. epel 8 does now have this though, which worked for me: texlive-ucharcat.noarch |
## Description of problem: The usage in EL8 of pandoc --pdf-engine=xelatex pandoc --pdf-engine=lualatex aborts with an error like Error producing PDF. ! LaTeX Error: File `ucharcat.sty' not found. EL8 does not provide texlive-ucharcat-%{VERSION}.rpm ## How reproducible: $ echo -e "# Test\n\n CLI:\n\t pandoc --help\n\n" > test.md $ pandoc --pdf-engine=xelatex -V documentclass:article -V mainfont:Montserrat-Light -V papersize:A4 -f markdown_strict -o test.pdf test.md ## Actual results: Error producing PDF. ! LaTeX Error: File `ucharcat.sty' not found. Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed, or enter new name. (Default extension: sty) Enter file name: ! Emergency stop. <read *> l.41 \RequirePackage ## Expected results: $ echo $? 0
