Since one of the last two updates, rubber is unable to compile a document of
mine which previously it was perfectly able to:
pietro@debiousci:~/radiation$ rubber --inplace --maxerr -1 --short --force
--warn all --pdf radiation_04.tex
compiling radiation_04.tex...
running BibTeX on radiation_04...

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ''
The problem is that "execute()" in "environment.py" is receiving the empty
string as "pwd" argument, and this in turn is due to "run()", in
latex_modules/bibtex.py, calling "os.path.dirname" on a string which contains
(at least in some cases) a filename rather than a full path.
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).
