Comment 1 Boris Folgmann 2007-01-23 13:23:41 UTC
Description of problem:
xdvi calls xdvi.bin with wrong parameters

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tetex-xdvi-2.0.2-21.3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
$ xdvi example.dvi
  
Actual results:
Usage: xdvi [+[<page>]] [-regression] [-s <shrink>] [-S <density>] [-nogrey]
        [-gamma <g>] [-install] [-noinstall] [-rulecolor <color>] [-p <pixels>]
        [-margins <dimen>] [-sidemargin <dimen>] [-topmargin <dimen>]
        [-offsets <dimen>] [-xoffset <dimen>] [-yoffset <dimen>]
        [-paper <papertype>] [-altfont <font>] [-nomakepk] [-mfmode <mode-def>]
        [-editor <editor>] [-not1lib]
...


Expected results:
Correctly run xdvi.bin -name xdvi example.dvi


Additional info:
I prepended an echo before the last line in /usr/bin/xdvi which reads:
xdvi.bin $NAMEOPT ${1+"$@"}
So I could see what xdvi calls. It gave me the "correct" output
xdvi.bin -name xdvi example.dvi
When pasted in the shell again, this xdvi.bin call works, but not when running
xdvi. May be it's an expansion problem of the ${} construction. There must be
something wrong, because xdvi.bin is only outputting its usage when called by xdvi.



Comment 2 Boris Folgmann 2007-01-23 13:24:57 UTC
Above description was pasted from bug #151261.
The affected version on RHEL is tetex-2.0.2-22.EL4.7.

Any progress on this?

Comment 5 Ondrej Vasik 2011-02-18 12:54:53 UTC
Thanks for report, but we will not be able to address the issue in RHEL-4.
RHEL-4.9 was the last RHEL-4 regular update. As RHEL-4 now targets only
critical and security fixes, closing this bugzilla WONTFIX. 

If you still experience the issue with RHEL-5, feel free to report it there,
however, if you want to increase the chances to have this fixed, please use
product support for that. Bugzilla is just bug tracking tool, not support
tool and components for RHEL updates are based primarily on support request.
