Bug#335550: Problems with jadetex

[Arnaud Patard (Rtp) <arnaud.patard@rtp-net.org>]

Hi,

I've just got this bug too. The problem is caused by this line : 
etex -ini  -jobname=jadetex -progname=jadetex &latex jadetex.ini

[ iirc, this line comes from the parsing of the
/etc/texmf/fmt.d/40jadetex.cnf. ]


This line is interpreted by the shell as the following two lines :

$ etex -ini  -jobname=jadetex -progname=jadetex & 
$ latex jadetex.ini


The correct line should be :
$ etex -ini  -jobname=jadetex -progname=jadetex \&latex jadetex.ini

imho, fmtutil/fmtutils-sys should be fixed to handle correctly this
separator. Unfortunately, I don't know how to fix this.

I hope that this information will help you in solving this issue.

Regards,
Arnaud Patard
