** Description changed:
+ epstopdf invokes perl using:
+
+ eval '(exit $?0)' && eval 'exec perl -S $0 ${1+"$@"}' && eval 'exec perl
+ -S $0 $argv:q'
+
+ …when it should instead use:
+
+ #!/usr/bin/perl
+
+ The debian package (texlive-binaries; source package texlive-bin)
+ contains patches which fix this bug, and similar bugs in a2ping,
+ pdfcrop, thumbpdf and vpe.
+
+ Original description
+ ====================

Binary package hint: rubber
A LaTeX document I want to compile to PDF using rubber contains
Postscript files. These files have to be converted, but the call to
epstopdf fails:
$ rubber -vv -d document.tex
...
converting figure.eps to PDF...
executing: epstopdf --outfile=figure.pdf figure.eps

OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error
process 6231 (epstopdf) returned 256
'epstopdf' failed
The Gentoo bugzilla has an entry describing the same problem:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=289818
Basically, the problem is with the silly perl locating trickery in the
first line of epstopdf. Rubber just tries to execute it as an
executable, but there is no shebang.
This is rubber package 1.1-2.2ubuntu1 and texlive-font-utils
2009-7ubuntu3 (containing epstopdf) on Ubuntu Lucid / 10.04.
