Package: tetex-bin Version: 2.0.2-31 Severity: normal
If you run latex on a malformed tex file that consists of some text, followed by a '\newpage' and optionally followed by some more text, then latex will fail (obviously), but it will still produce a (very much broken) dvi file. This file is useless and can produce strange results in scripts like rubber. Example file contents: -------------------- Moo \newpage -------------------- Latex manages to produce a dvi file from this. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages tetex-bin depends on: ii debconf 1.4.53 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.14.1 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii dpkg 1.13.10 Package maintenance system for Deb ii ed 0.2-20 The classic unix line editor ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:4.0.1-3 GCC support library ii libice6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-4 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libkpathsea3 2.0.2-31 path search library for teTeX (run ii libpaper1 1.1.14-3 Library for handling paper charact ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1 PNG library - runtime ii libsm6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Session Management ii libstdc++6 4.0.1-3 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libt1-5 5.0.2-3 Type 1 font rasterizer library - r ii libwww0 5.4.0-9 The W3C WWW library ii libx11-6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-4 X Window System protocol client li ii libxaw7 6.8.2.dfsg.1-4 X Athena widget set library ii libxext6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-4 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxmu6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-4 X Window System miscellaneous util ii libxt6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-4 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii mime-support 3.34-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii perl 5.8.7-4 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii sed 4.1.4-2 The GNU sed stream editor ii tetex-base 2.0.2c-8 Basic library files of teTeX ii ucf 2.000 Update Configuration File: preserv ii xlibs 6.8.2.dfsg.1-4 X Window System client libraries m ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-1 compression library - runtime Versions of packages tetex-bin recommends: ii dialog 1.0-20050306-1 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe pn perl-tk <none> (no description available) pn psutils <none> (no description available) pn texi2html <none> (no description available) ii whiptail 0.51.6-28 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe -- debconf information: tetex-bin/updmap-failed: tetex-bin/hyphen: french[=patois], ngerman[=naustrian-neue_Rechtschreibung] tetex-bin/oldcfg: true tetex-bin/upd_map: true tetex-bin/cnf_name: tetex-bin/fmtutil: true tetex-bin/use_debconf: false tetex-bin/fmtutil-failed: tetex-bin/groupname: users tetex-bin/userperm: false tetex-bin/groupperm: true tetex-bin/lsr-perms: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
