Bug#321998: linuxdoc-tools: [sgml2latex] Fails to produce DVI output with teTeX-3.0, always PDF
Package: linuxdoc-tools
Version: 0.9.21
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Due to a buggy test for the TeX engine used, sgml2latex will always
produce PDF even if DVI is intended with teTeX-3.0. This is because we
now use pdfTeX also for DVI output, so \pdfoutput is defined, but set to
false for DVI - but you test whether it is defined and then set it to
true.
This will cause packages to FTBFS once teTeX-3.0, currently in
experimental, gets into unstable (and then the severity will be RC). We
expect to be able to do the upload within days or weeks.
The attached patch fixes this.
Thanks in advance, Frank
