Hi, I've just got this bug too. The problem is caused by this line : etex -ini -jobname=jadetex -progname=jadetex &latex jadetex.ini
[ iirc, this line comes from the parsing of the /etc/texmf/fmt.d/40jadetex.cnf. ] This line is interpreted by the shell as the following two lines : $ etex -ini -jobname=jadetex -progname=jadetex & $ latex jadetex.ini The correct line should be : $ etex -ini -jobname=jadetex -progname=jadetex \&latex jadetex.ini imho, fmtutil/fmtutils-sys should be fixed to handle correctly this separator. Unfortunately, I don't know how to fix this. I hope that this information will help you in solving this issue.
