Description Jussi Eloranta 2010-12-21 17:53:44 UTC
Description of problem:

The achemso macro package is still broken in FC14. After running latex on the input file, bibtex gives the following output:

This is BibTeX, Version 0.99c (Web2C 7.5.6)
The top-level auxiliary file: he2.aux
The style file: achemso.bst
Database file #1: acs-he2.bib
Warning--entry type for "achemso-control" isn't style-file defined
--line 4 of file acs-he2.bib
Database file #2: he2.bib
`title' is a missing field, not a string, for entry achemso-control
while executing---line 1120 of file achemso.bst

One can just keep going after that but the first reference will always be empty.
If I grab achemso.zip (and cleveref.zip that achemso depends on) and replace the current achemso with it, everything works OK. One needs to replace both the style and bibliography files.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

texlive.i686                                     2007-56.fc14            @fedora

How reproducible:

Run a latex file that uses references and achemso. After this bibtex will give the above error.

I have been having this error for a while too, it is a real pain when submitting papers to journals.  As described above I get reference 1 empty and the same errors as above.

sorry forgot to say:
I am on a F14 system.

How reproducible:

Run a latex file that uses references and achemso. After this bibtex will give
the error.

Comment 3 Roderick MacKenzie 2011-02-28 15:40:33 UTC
I have just spent an hour getting my document to compile and I wanted to leave a how to for other people who come across this thread:
1. Download the working styles from http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/cleveref/
2. you can get the achemso from there too.
3. unpack the achemso.zip and cleveref.zip. this will make two dirs
4. install the styles, by typing latex cleveref.ins then latex achemso.ins
5. Delete /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/achemso and the corresponding /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/cleverref dir.
6. Copy your unpacked new achemso cleverref dirs to /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/
7. run texhash
8. copy the .bst files in to your dir containing your latex file.

should then go.

Do this at your own risk etc....

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 18:31:55 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

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

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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 to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

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.

The process we are following is described here:
