Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20011202
There is a bug in dvips, which prevents for example the generation of an
eps-file from a tif-file by the program tiff2ps.
Here is the example code from the tex file:
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[dvips]{graphicx}
\DeclareGraphicsRule{.tif}{eps}{.tif.bb}{`tiff2ps #1}
\graphicspath{{GRAPHICS/}}
\begin{document}
\unitlength 1mm
\begin{picture}(50,42)
\put(0,0){\includegraphics[width=50mm]{tiger.tif}}
\end{picture}
\end{document}
The subdirectory GRAPHICS contains the tif-file and the bounding-box-file.
Executing "dvips -o tif-ps-test.ps tif-ps-test.dvi" ends in an error
message:
This is dvips(k) 5.86e Copyright 2001 Radical Eye Software
(www.radicaleye.com)
' TeX output 2002.08.12:1503' -> bongo.ps
<texc.pro><special.pro>. [1
dvips.old: Execution of <tiff2ps GRAPHICS/tiger.tif> failed
]
As a workaround a have renamed dvips to dvips.err and installed
an older dvips from Suse Linux (7.0), which works fine:
This is dvips(k) 5.86 Copyright 1999 Radical Eye Software
(www.radicaleye.com)
' TeX output 2002.08.12:1503' -> bongo.ps
<texc.pro><special.pro>. [1<tiff2ps GRAPHICS/tiger.tif>]
I don't think that this workaround is good solution, because other users
don't have the opportunity. It would be very nice if you could find out
where the error in the new version of dvips was introduced and do the
corrections necessary.
I am using Debian 3.0, kernel 2.2.20, libc6 2.2.5-10
Best wishes

Changes:
tetex-base (1.0.2+20021025-3) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Changed Conflicts: revtex4 (<= 4.0-2) as the revtex4 maintainer,
Alexei Kaminski, kindly made a dummy revtex4 4.0-3 for smooth upgrade.
I would like to express the greatest thanks to Alexei Kaminski!
(Closes: #169902)
* Now provided xdvi.cfg [kohda] (Closes: #171196, #171913)
* Fixed config.ps with patch-tmp. Now dvips was in secure mode by default
and '-R' option should work fine. This will be fixed in the upstream
soon, so we should remove this modification at that instance! [kohda]
(Closes: #51586, #127893, #133589, #139085, #156406)
* Removed tetex-extra.preinst and preinst completely. [advised by jdg and
done by kohda] (Closes: #170592)
- I believe this would fix the failure of installation
(Closes: #78640, #153891, #170102)
* Removed listings.*, this package might be not DFSG-free. [kohda]
