For those who don't want to download the 81 MB ps listing, here's the relevant part: 2202 ? S 0:00 | \_ etex -ini -jobname=xmltex -progname=xmltex &latex xmltex.ini 2424 ? S 0:00 | \_ /bin/sh /usr/bin/mktexfmt xmltex.fmt 2584 ? S 0:00 | \_ /bin/sh /usr/bin/mktexfmt xmltex.fmt 2585 ? S 0:00 | \_ pdftex -ini -jobname=xmltex -progname=xmltex &latex xmltex.ini 2807 ? S 0:00 | \_ /bin/sh /usr/bin/mktexfmt xmltex.fmt and there the infinite loop starts, always 2 mktexfmt processes and 1 pdftex process, they're calling each other in an endless loop. A dependency loop caused texlive-latex to be installed before texlive-texmf-latex, so latex.fmt wasn't created. texlive-texmf-2007-11.fc9 should have this fixed. *** Bug 431327 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 431238 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I think that these scriptlet issues should be fixed once for all with a proper understanding of what order should be best and how to implement it. This should be resolved now in rawhide. Please reopen if you see it again. The texinfo-tex requires can go since it also brings in texinfo,
so this is a bit too much. Howver the tex-preview makes sense.
Why not add the
Requires(post): %{_bindir}/texconfig-sys /sbin/install-info
to ensure the right ordering and drop the conditionals?
And remove the postscripts from the texlive and put them
in the texlive-texmf such that the ini files and map files
are there when the fmtutil and updmap scriptlets are called?

It is actually logical to have texlive-latex be installed before texlive-texmf-latex. But the script should be called after texlive-texmf-latex installation, in my opinion. It seems to be fixed by patch in bug #437003. Closing as duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 437008 *** |
