Description Kirill Kolyshkin 2006-09-01 07:04:35 UTC
Description of problem:

I was not able to generate PDF from SGML using linuxdoc-tools (see exact error
below).

I found that the reason is Patch3 (last patch from bug #149588). Looks like it
doesn't work anymore with the latest tetex.

So what I did is I reverted that patch and applied the one suggested in Debian
bug #321998. It works for me, and I have also checked that by default DVI is
produced.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ rpm -q linuxdoc-tools tetex tetex-latex
linuxdoc-tools-0.9.21-6.2.1.1kk
tetex-3.0-20.FC5
tetex-latex-3.0-20.FC5


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. wget http://kir.vtx.ru/resume/resume8.sgml
2. linuxdoc -B latex -o pdf resume8.sgml

Actual results:

Comment 1 Kirill Kolyshkin 2006-09-01 07:07:35 UTC
This bug actually renders linuxdoc-tools unusable, thus raising the severity.

Comment 2 Kirill Kolyshkin 2007-01-10 00:22:03 UTC
Ughm, looks like nobody is interested in curing linuxdoc? Pity :(

Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2007-01-11 15:26:11 UTC
Oops, sorry.  Fixed in 0.9.21-8.fc6.

Comment 4 Fedora Update System 2007-01-11 22:01:15 UTC
linuxdoc-tools-0.9.21-8.fc6 has been pushed for fc6, which should resolve this issue.  If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report.
