Bug#350186: pdftex: -interaction option does not work
> Package: pdftex
> Version: 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
> Severity: important

Why 'experimental'? pdfTeX version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2, which is part of
teTeX 3.0 has been in unstable for quite some time now. Actually, in a
few days it will go to testing.

The '-interaction' switch is unrelated to the 'extended mode', which is
the mode used for actual typesetting (as opposed to 'ini mode' used for
dumping formats). Could you please tell us what commandline options you
are using exactly, as well as what you are trying to achieve? Thanks.
