This hints at the underlying problem: dblatex can't find the image file
at the location the DocBook source points to:

  

After fixing the location:

  

dblatex succeeds (although you might want to use a vector graphics file
format like pdf for the logo).

This works as front cover support is a new feature of dblatex, compare
/usr/share/doc/dblatex/changelog.gz:

Release 0.3.10:
---

- Add the ability to set images for front and back covers

In summary: the new dblatex version reveals an old inconsistency within
your DocBook source.

dblatex depends on texlive, which depends on texlive-latex-base, which
depends on texlive-binaries.  Is this indirect dependency too weak?
Would an explicit, direct dependency on texlive-binaries have led to
another apt order in the dist-upgrade?

Sorry, didn't know this.

This suggestion renders the discussion above about a direct dependency
on texlive-binaries obsolete.  I would be happy to drop the mktexlsr
calls in postrm/postinst.  In this case the postrm call failed, thus the
fix needs to be applied to *jessie* dblatex, doesn't it?

Hi release managers,

in order to fix an error that has happened on a number of systems when
dist-upgrading from jessie to stretch, I need to make a small change to
the postrm script of jessie dblatex: the call of the texlive command
"mktexlsr" must only happen if the command actually is available.

To be on the safe side, the same change needs to be applied to the
postinst script of stretch dblatex.  And in order to avoid this problem
when dist-upgrading from stretch to buster, the jessie postrm change
needs to be taken over to stretch dblatex.

However the jessie fix will avoid the observed error only if installed
*before* dist-upgrading to stretch. How to inform the dist-upgrading
users about this requirement?

Thus the question adressed to you: Are there plans for a final jessie
point release?  If this point release would include a new, fixed dblatex
jessie version 0.3.5-3, users would install it as part of the
recommended dist-upgrade preparation.

Your advice about how to proceed is appreciated.

Hi,

mktexlsr needs to be called in dblatex postrm/postinst, as documented
there:

# A call to 'mktexlsr' is needed to register the dblatex TeX files
# in the TeX database '/var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXMFMAIN'.

Unfortunately in this special case the texlive packages (providing
mktexlsr) are not present when calling dblatex postrm:

> Versions of packages dblatex depends on:
> ii  docbook-xml   4.5-8
> ii  python2.7.13-2
> ii  python-apt1.4.0~beta3
> pn  texlive   
> pn  texlive-bibtex-extra  
> pn  texlive-extra-utils   
> pn  texlive-latex-extra   
> pn  texlive-math-extra
> ii  xsltproc  1.1.29-2.1

A possible solution would be to check for the availability of mktexlsr
in dblatex postrm/postinst and to call it only when found.

Changing this in stretch dblatex is easy (with a new version 0.3.9-3),
but I'm not sure how a corresponding change in jessie dblatex (with a
new version 0.3.5-3) would reach the jessie installations out there: is
there any mechanism that upgrades jessie installations to the most
recent jessie packages first before upgrading to stretch in a second
step?  Or is it something that the users are told in the release notes?
The only requirement I'm able to find there is upgrading to the latest
stable point release [1].  Are there plans for a final jessie point
release?

Another question: after releasing new dblatex jessie version 0.3.5-3, I
need to incorporate the new jessie changelog entry into the changelog of
the new dblatex stretch version 0.3.9-3, don't I?  Although this will
add to the differences between 0.3.9-2 and 0.3.9-3, which the release
managers request to keep as minimal as possible.

BTW, as usual I would need sponsorship for the two new releases as I
have no upload rights.

Any advice is highly appreciated.

0.3.8-1 was the latest released dblatex version when the new
texlive-extra version broke it (although dblatex is to blame for the
incompatibility due to invoking an internal TeX function).

At this time it had not been decided yet whether the incompatibility
would be fixed by an own patch release (=> 0.3.8-2) or by integrating
a fix into the new upstream release that I was packaging when the bug
was reported (=> 0.3.9-1).

Exactly.

Hi Benoît,

is the problematic paragraph labeled "% Make \@xmultirow long" in
dbk_table.sty *needed at all* within current dblatex?  I can't find any
calls of the \@xmultirow macro within dblatex, and after commenting out
the paragraph a DocBook example with a table containing multirows still
is transformed to PDF without errors and looks as expected.

Eliminating this paragraph from dbk_table.sty seems to be cleaner, more
robust and future-proof than my previous hotfix candidate.

What do you think?

Hi Benoît,

the attached hotfix [1] seems to resolve the incompatibility between
dblatex and the new multirow.sty version.

However avoiding to call the \@xmultirow macro if it an internal one

2011-09-10 Thread Andreas Hoenen
Andreas Hoenen andr...@hoenen-terstappen.de wrote:

 Hi Benoît,

 I want to inform you of Debian BTS report #634563 [1], which has been
 tracked down from the affected package xmlunit (a library that enables
 unit testing of XML) to dblatex:
snip/
 Attached is the problematic file [2]: by comparison of intermediate
 files XMLUnit-Java.tex for both dblatex versions and some experimenting
 I have tracked down the problem to the command:

 pdftitle={XMLUnit Java User's Guide
  
 \imgexists{xmlunit.png}{{\imgevalsize{xmlunit.png}{\includegraphics[width=331pt,height=100pt,keepaspectratio=true]{xmlunit.png{}
   },%

 Image inclusion in PDF title is a new feature of version 0.3.2, isn't
 it?  However there seems to be a problem with it, unfortunately I'm in
 lack of the necessary in-depth TeX knowledge to analyze further.
snip/

Hi Benoît,

meanwhile I think that the problem is not about how to include an image
into the pdftitle field, but that the image clause has been included
_accidentally_ into the pdftitle: the image clause is only targeted at
the document's title, but not for the pdftitle field.  Correct?

Thus I have created a somewhat clumsy hotfix [1]: computing a separate
XSL variable pdftitle based on the contents of the previously computed
XSL variable title, stripping off any image clause.  Detecting and
stripping off an embedded image clause is somewhat fragile: if you ever
change the structure of the image clause in title determination,
pdftitle computation would need to get adapted.

At least both possible settings of configuration parameter
imagedata.file.check are taken into account, I used the pdfinfo
command for inspecting the resulting pdftitle value.

If you are developing a more elegant respectively robust way for fixing
the problem, let me know, otherwise I would release a new Debian dblatex
release with my hotfix soon, as the BTS report is quite urgent due to
the FTBFS: Serious (policy violations or makes package unfit for
release)

Hi,

some quick remarks:

It looks like your perl installation on the specific machine is somehow
broken.  The best information source I have found after some googling is
[1].

Maybe the output of the following commands on the problematic and on a
working machine will narrow down the problem:


perl -e use Scalar::Util 'weaken'
dpkg -l perl-base
debsums perl-base
perl -MScalar::Util -MData::Dumper -e 'print Dumper(\%INC)'
perl -V


If the first statement fails on the on the specific machine, but
succeeds on the working machine, then it is either a broken perl
installation or a bug in the perl packages.  In either case
apt-show-versions is only a problem victim, but not its cause.

One possible cause (from [1]) is a problem with
/usr/lib/perl/5.8.8/auto/List/Util/Util.so

The warnings at dblatex upgrade to 0.2-1 about not being able to delete

You're right, unfortunately dblatex has a problem that has been ignored

the list archive yet), resulting in the following simple patch:

but as it does not fix the grave bug (and as the next upstream version
has been released meanwhile), it does not seem to make much sense to
release it.

Work on 0.2-1 is progressing well, until now all tests succeed.  But I
will sleep one night on it.  If tomorrow I consider the package still in
good shape and the final tests succeed, I will upload it to
mentors.debian.net (and inform you).  Thus I hope to get ready at
Saturday, or at worst at Sunday.  If you could examine the package and
sponsor it, this would be just great, as both my default sponsor, Lucas
Wall, and Andreas Barth who has volunteered to sponsor 0.2~pre-1 seem to
be very busy at the moment.

Regards, Andreas Hoenen

 - The problems mentioned later in #327616 by Andreas Hoehnen, the fact

   dblatex, with a patch.

 When will that be applied?

I don't know - but as I said, it is just cosmetics, since the PS
creation is not needed.

The upcoming version of dblatex, 0.2~pre-1, correctly builds the PS
output of the cdbs documentation.

This version already has been uploaded to my sponsor (as I'm not a DD),
thus Franks patch is not included.  The upstream author seems to have
solved the problem in another way.

Hello,

Using just dblatex in doc/Makefile is easy, but there is a minor
problem: The PS output does not build (not needed nor used, but
still...). Patch to cdbs attached. Btw: In the XML file,

The situation for dblatex is as follows:

The current testing/unstable version 0.1.10-1 succeeds for pdf, but
fails for ps (as stated by Wolfgang).

The already packaged version 0.2~pre-1 (currently being examined by my
sponsor before uploading) unfortunately has a regression bug for the
CDBS documentation, that is the pdf generation fails :-(  The upstream
author already has fixed this bug, a patch sent to me resolves the
problem.

Upstream version 0.2 is promised to be released soon, it should behave
like patched version 0.2~pre.  For this version besides the pdf
generation also the ps generation succeeds.

Regards, Andreas
