Package: tetex-bin
Version: 2.0.2-9
Severity: important
Recently (this version of tetex-bin and the previous, at least), when
xdvi needs a font and calls mktexpk, mktexpk builds the font
successfully (gsftopk for me), but xdvi freezes with a busy cursor. I
can kill the X-window, but the xdvi process does not die, and I can't
Ctrl-c out from it on the shell command-line. I have to Ctrl-z to
quit, then kill it with e.g. kill %1. If you run xdvi again on the
same dvi file, the one font built last time is there and available,
but it will hang again on the next one that needs to be built. I'm
running Xdvi with -not1lib. I'll provide more information as
available with further tests as I have time to do them. It seems that
somehow the call to mktexpk is not actually returning so that Xdvi is
waiting on it even though it's done; but that is not the only possibility.

On of our team members comfirmed, that this bug seems to be gone (and
had nothing to do with teTeX). Submitter did so too. Closing.
