I think this is not xmlto issue - more likely passivetex or texlive issue. I will try to find the culprit and reassign this bugzilla if possible. If passivetex is the issue, then this is likely unsolvable, as its upstream is dead for many years...
Thanks for looking into it. If these underlying tex systems aren't up to the job, perhaps consider defaulting to --with-fop, and have the RPM Require: fop etc.
Problem with --with-fop is that it brings in whole Java ... this is too much for simple documentation build. Even passivetex+texlive is quite big. Other option is to default to dblatex (approach used by debian, as they dropped the passivetex support ~2 years ago and I added the support for dblatex to xmlto for them). I'll think about it, at the moment, the passivetex+texlive handles most of the documents well, unfortunately, not all of them. We'll see, most of the passivetex isues so far were solvable by docbook-style-xsl modifications.
I am seeing the same error when trying to generate the valgrind manual. It happens when invoking "pdfxmltex index.fo" (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/ts1cmr.fd) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/psnfss/t1ptm.fd) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/supp-pdf.mkii [Loading MPS to PDF converter (version 2006.09.02).] ) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/oberdiek/epstopdf-base.sty (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/oberdiek/grfext.sty) ! Undefined control sequence. <recently read> \AppendGraphicsExtensions l.451 \fi ? Hitting return here seems to get past it, but that is hard to do from the build/Makefile. The original index.fo is generated by: xsltproc --nonet --xinclude -o ../docs/print/index.fo ../docs/lib/vg-fo.xsl ../docs/xml/index.xml Should I adapt the xsltproc invocation or the pdftex invocation? Or is the above not the same as the original reported issue?
In my opinion, it is some dependency issue within the texlive, because it works for me with the latest docbook stylesheets and xmlto on my texlive-less rhel-6 system. There was recent replacement of xmltex package by texlive equivalent in Fedora and some dependency glitches in generated texlive stuff might be the culprit. Moving to texlive, as pdfxmltex comes from there and xmlto is not the only reproducer.
The following "fixes" it for me. Comment out the followin section in /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/oberdiek/epstopdf-base.sty around line 450: %% \ifETE@prepend %% \expandafter\PrependGraphicsExtensions %% \else %% \expandafter\AppendGraphicsExtensions %% \fi %% {.eps} But I admit to not know what I am doing. But with the above I can build the valgrind manual again. The above is against the file in 3:texlive-oberdiek-svn30469.0-0.1.fc19.noarch
Still an issue in f20. Workaround from comment #6 still works against texlive-oberdiek-svn30469.0-4.fc20.noarch
I am also seeing this issue with texlive-oberdiek-svn26725.0-32.el7.noarch
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. 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 20 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.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 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.

This bug is currently reported against a Fedora version which is already unsuported. I am changing the version to '27', the latest supported release. Please check whether this bug is still an issue on the '27' release. If you find this bug not being applicable on this release, please close it.
