Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Orion Poplawski 2014-02-12 16:13:52 UTC

Description of problem:

Trying to build octave for EPEL7 I get:

dvips  -o octave.ps octave.dvi
This is dvips(k) 5.993 Copyright 2013 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com)
' TeX output 2014.02.12:1510' -> octave.ps
dvips: ! Couldn't find header file: groff.enc

This is normally provided in the textlive-metapost sub-package, but this is missing from RHEL7 beta.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2012-27.20130427_r30134.el7

Comment 2 Orion Poplawski 2014-04-22 22:31:03 UTC

RC is here and this doesn't appear to be fixed :(

Comment 4 ir. Jan Gerrit Kootstra 2015-01-05 23:41:19 UTC

It still seems to exist in the RHEL 7 GA.

Comment 24 Orion Poplawski 2015-07-01 16:16:44 UTC

It there any chance I could get ahold of the updated packages anywhere?  srpm by chance?

Comment 25 Than Ngo 2015-07-02 11:10:46 UTC

i want to check with my manager first if it's possible to upload srpm and will let you know.
