Package: texinfo
Version: 4.11.dfsg.1-4
Severity: minor
While trying to build some old documentation, I encountered the
following problem:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/coding/devel/lidia/lidia-2.2.0$ make doc
Making all in doc
make[1]: Entering directory
`/home/jordi/coding/devel/lidia/lidia-2.2.0/doc'
TEX="latex" PDFTEX="pdflatex" TEXINPUTS=".:$TEXINPUTS"
BIBTEX="bibtex" BIBINPUTS="." MAKEINDEX="makeindex -s LiDIA.ist"
INDEXSTYLE="." texi2dvi -l LaTeX LiDIA.tex
/usr/bin/texi2dvi: internal error, unknown language: LaTeX
(a few linebreaks added for clarity)
That's bizarre. The texi2dvi manpage says that "-l LaTeX" is a
recognised option. Either the manpage or texi2dvi has a bug. The
environment variables are probably irrelevant; I can get the same
error message from texi2dvi by just running "texi2dvi -l LaTeX foo.tex" on
any file named "foo.tex"
Researching further, it seems the problem is the capitalisation of
LaTeX. Changing the command to "$(ENV VARS HERE) texi2dvi -l latex
LiDIA.tex" made this work.
I am guessing this is a recent change to texi2dvi, so either the
manpage has to change to reflect this change, or the program should
support the older option.
