Or at least faster. That works too. However, it would be much easier to distinguish warnings and errors if they actually would have some unique identifier. As it is now fmtutil will search lines that start with '! ' (applies to warnings and errors) and will return exit code different than 0, claiming that there is a potential error in the format files. I'd reckon the easiest way to change this would be to patch tex macros to output unique formatted warnings and patch fmtutil to react accordingly.

Here is the same patch with correct file names.
Just copy it in the debian/patches directory and include it in the
series file.

Bug#531569: (no subject)
The error message about the source files being too old is just a warning, everything will be generated as they should be. Unfortunately fmtutil does not see it that way, the warning format in the logs is identical to error messages and fmtutil interprets that as a possible error and will act accordingly [1]. The solution is to change the latex.ltx file so that either the warning is displayed using different format, or the time the files are considered old is changed (however, making it double makes you have the same problem after next five years). For me, something like [2] seems to solve the problem. Regards, Jussi [1] if test -f $fmtfile; then grep '^! ' $format.log /dev/null 21 log_failure \`$engine -ini $tcxflag $jobswitch $prgswitch $texargs' possibly failed. else log_failure \`$engine -ini $tcxflag $jobswitch $prgswitch $texargs' failed fi [2] http://scratchbox.org/cgi-bin/darcsweb.cgi?r=1.0/sb-doctools-devkit;a=annotate_plain;f=doctools/tetex/files/reformat-warning-old-sources.patch;h=20090602131054-902ad-469817845078f6e9328c4ed91cd7262e2df7e7be.gz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Or at least faster. Anyway, there's no value in updating the LaTeX component of an otherwise frozen, but supported oldstable. We should definitely solve this without backporting newer LaTeX to etch.
