Description Karel Volný 2013-11-06 22:49:09 UTC
Description of problem:
Trying to put two pages on one, it doesn't work for me.
pdfjam suggests to look into log but it is not saved despite using --no-tidy 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
texlive-pdfjam-bin-svn17868.0-0.1.20130608_r30832.fc19.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. pdfnup --no-tidy --nup 2x1 -o print.pdf Uivatelsk-pruka-drby.pdf 161,162
2. cat (the_path_to_log)

Actual results:

kpathsea: Running mktexfmt pdflatex.fmt
          ----
  pdfjam: This is pdfjam version 2.08.
  pdfjam: Reading any site-wide or user-specific defaults...
          (none found)
  pdfjam: Temporary directory for this job is
                    /var/tmp/pdfjam-0dEACt
  pdfjam: Effective call for this run of pdfjam:
          /usr/bin/pdfjam --suffix nup --nup '2x1' --landscape --no-tidy --nup '2x1' --outfile print.pdf -- Uivatelsk-pruka-drby.pdf 161,162 
  pdfjam: Calling pdflatex...
  pdfjam: FAILED.
          The call to 'pdflatex' resulted in an error.
          If '--no-tidy' was used, you can examine the
          log file at
                  /var/tmp/pdfjam-0dEACt/a.log
          to try to diagnose the problem.
  pdfjam ERROR: Output file not written

cat: /var/tmp/pdfjam-0dEACt/a.log: No such file or directory


Expected results:
well, in the first place, it shouldn't fail :-) but once it does, the log file should exist and contain useful information

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 20:30:22 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2015-02-17 19:06:53 UTC
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
