No, at least not in the original bug report: On Piem's system, there was an old conffile for jadetex which tried to use the tex executable to create the jadetex format, but this failed because it must load the latex.fmt which was created by pdfetex instead of Knuth's tex. > [ iirc, this line comes from the parsing of the > /etc/texmf/fmt.d/40jadetex.cnf. ] Well, rather from parsing /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf which is generated from the files in /etc/texmf/fmt.d/. > This line is interpreted by the shell as the following two lines : > > $ etex -ini -jobname=jadetex -progname=jadetex & > $ latex jadetex.ini This is wrong, because the string "&latex jadetex.ini" is saved in the variable texargs, and later the executable is called with $texargs als the last argument. You can easily check that it works: $ myarg="&goodbye" $ echo hallo &goodbye hallo [3] 9984 bash: goodbye: command not found [3] Done echo hallo $ echo hallo $myarg hallo &goodbye $ > imho, fmtutil/fmtutils-sys should be fixed to handle correctly this > separator. Unfortunately, I don't know how to fix this. ...because is already works Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ. Zürich Debian Developer
