[Using Ubuntu 6.10/i386] I couldn't apply (without rejected hunks) the Ubuntu poppler patch at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=356079 to the Debian texlive-2007-1 source. So I just removed debian/patches/30_libpoppler from the patch series, returning to using the xpdf sources that ship with pdftex. Then the texlive-2007 src pkg compiled into the many .deb's and these binary pkgs installed fine. They use libpng-1.2.8 and libc6-2.4. I then could upgrade to your latest context pkg (2007.03.19) and test it. As its stress test, it processed my textbook fine. The only glitches I've noticed so far: * installing the pkgs removed dvipdfmx but I haven't figured out the reason. It may be Ubuntu-specific. * dvipos isn't included in any binary packages, although it gets built when creating them: $ pwd /var/tmp/tlrebuild/texlive-bin-2007 $ find -name dvipos ./build/source/texk/dvipos ./build/source/inst/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu/dvipos ./build/source/Work/texk/dvipos ./build/source/Work/texk/dvipos/dvipos ./bin/i386-linux/dvipos I couldn't figure out where the package-splitting information lives, in order that dpkg-buildpackage knows dvipos belongs to a particular binary package. Maybe because there's no tpm file for it, and the tpm's are turned into magic Debian files, so dvipos gets left out? Multiple binary pkgs from one source pkg is one the the deeper mysteries of Debian packaging, well understood by maintainers of complex packages (like texlive or tetex) but not documented elsewhere. But I'm happy to learn how that works! -Sanjoy `Not all those who wander are lost.' (J.R.R. Tolkien)
