Package: mathtex
Version: 1.03-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
     To run mathtex as a cgi-script, I linked /usr/bin/mathtex to /usr/bin/cgi-bin/mathtex.cgi (similar to mimetex/mimetex.cgi).
     http://localhost/mathtex.cgi?x^2 gave error: (10) dvipng ran but failed: See mathtex.html#message 10
     dvipng.err file contents: /usr/bin/dvipng warning: unrecognized length unit "o", assuming inches /usr/bin/dvipng warning: unrecognized length unit "", assuming inches   

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
     Ineffective: Running http://loclahost/mathtex.cgi?\messagelevel{9} x^2, ended with folders showing that the error has something to do with dvipng.  
     Ineffective: Runnig mathtex at the command line  hangs with the final message:  mathTeX> message#10 succeeded:
         (10) dvipng ran but failed: 
     Effective: Changed the mathtex from package to a my previously-compiled version and this time it worked.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
     -as cgi-script: temporary folders/files with hints to the possible error (dvipng command options(?))
     -on command line: command hangs
     -switching to an old previously-compiled mathtex version that works shows that the new mathtex (from Debian 8 package) was compiled in a manner that causes the dvipng error
   
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
