Bug#798829: "OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ''" when running bibtex
Package: rubber Version: 1.2-1 Followup-For: Bug #798829 Dear Maintainer, I am still hitting a very similar bug each time I use bibtex inside my LaTeX document. It renders the software almost unusable when bibtex is in the loop (then, I do it by hand). Here is the full call-stack I get: $ rubber --pdf example.tex compiling example.tex... running BibTeX on example...

Hi, this should be fixed in 1.3. It was one aspect of a lot of problems due to Rubber using abspath() all over the place. This is mostly gone now. @Hilmar: You can drop the Debian patch in the next release.

Now, the second argument becomes attribute "self.base" of the newly created Bibliography object (line 44). And here comes line 256 or so: workdir = os.path.dirname(self.base) which asks the workdir... of a filename, rather than a path! The patch doesn't give any detail on which bug it was fixing, so I don't know what should be done about it. Pietro

Here's a minimal example... but anything using bibtex fails for me, so
I'm afraid the bug is context-related...
1) put the following in a file ~/radiation.tex:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
test \cite{pietro}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{radiation.bib}
\end{document}
2) put the following in a file ~/radiation.bib:
@article{pietro,
title={Shameless self-cite},
author={Pietro Battiston},
year={2014}
}
3) open a terminal and type in one line:
rubber --inplace --maxerr -1 --short --force --warn all --pdf
radiation.tex
You get the error above. Notice running pdflatex and bibtex manually wo
rks fine.

Assuming the symptoms of #798991 are correctly reported, no: I don't
have any symlink in my setup.

The problem is solved by replacing workdir = os.path.dirname (self.base) with workdir = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(self.base)) at line 256 of latex_modules/bibtex.py. I am farly confident this fix should not have undesired effects, what I ignore is whether it would better be implemented at some other level (i.e. if other modules than bibtex are affected by this bug). -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (650, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (600, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.1.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.utf8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages rubber depends on: ii python 2.7.9-1 pn python:any ii texlive-latex-base 2015.20150823-1 rubber recommends no packages.
