Package: jadetex
Version: 3.13-6
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
(This bug also exists upstream, at least in texlive. The Debian TeX
maintainer are going to care for this).
Since jadetex is a LaTeX-based format, it should search TEXMF/tex/latex
after TEXMF/tex/jadetex and before other paths. Because the latex path
is missing in TEXINPUTS.jadetex, jadetex will for example find cslatex's
version of fonttext.cfg before LaTeX's.
This problem has not shown up so far because jadetex currently loads a
pre-built latex.fmt. But this must be stopped (see the clone of bug
#375037, don't know the number jet), and therefore jadetex would get
incompatible with cslatex. But the bug would be important anyway.
Furthermore, pdfjadetex should not mention the non-existent pdftex
toplevel directory in its search path. This leads to the following
complete patch:

+TEXINPUTS.jadetex = .;$TEXMF/tex/{jadetex,latex,plain,generic,}//
+TEXINPUTS.pdfjadetex = .;$TEXMF/{tex}/{jadetex,latex,plain,generic,}//
Note that there's an additional bug in tex-common: It also sets
TEXINPUTS.jadetex and TEXINPUTS.pdfjadetex, so the change in jadetex
won't have any effect until this is removed. No bugnumber yet, I'll
file it at once. And please don't wonder why I file it with severity
important only: That's because the bug exists also in the version in
testing, tex-common is supposed to migrate to testing tonight, and I
don't want to try whether I am able to correctly tell britney that the
bug is in both versions.
