Package: src:gcc-5-doc Followup-For: Bug #815369 Hello,
There seems to be another bug in texi2pdf, which is triggered by an underscore in output filename. This command works: texi2pdf --command="@set cmd1 HELLO" --build=tidy -o mwe.pdf mwe.texi while the other doesn't: texi2pdf --command="@set cmd1 HELLO" --build=tidy -o mwe_2.pdf mwe.texi The mwe.texi file by Norbert: $ cat mwe.texi \input texinfo @c -*-texinfo-*- @setfilename min2.info What ever @anchor{@value{cmd1} doc}@anchor{0} Here we go @bye Command line output: $ texi2pdf --command="@set cmd1 HELLO" --build=tidy -o mwe.pdf mwe.texi This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.16 (TeX Live 2015/Debian) (preloaded format=pdfetex) restricted \write18 enabled. entering extended mode (/home/pkg/gcc/value/mwe.t2d/pdf/xtr/mwe.texi (/usr/share/texmf/tex/texinfo/texinfo.tex Loading texinfo [version 2016-02-05.07.deb3]: pdf, fonts, markup, glyphs, page headings, tables, conditionals, indexing, sectioning, toc, environments, defuns, macros, cross references, insertions, (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/epsf/epsf.tex This is `epsf.tex' v2.7.4 <14 February 2011> ) localization, formatting, and turning on texinfo input format.)
