One more problem was found: While the generation of latex format was
fixed by this change in the correct way, the generation of three other
formats (cslatex/pdfcslatex from texlive-lang-czechslovak, xelatex
from texlive-xetex, and mllatex from texlive-formats-extra) are also
broken because they *stop* at the warning message and do not generate
the format.
The latex.ini file that is loaded when generating the (pdf)latex formats
contains the line
\scrollmode
which makes the engine (pdftex/...) *not* stop at the respective
message. Unfortunately that line is missing from mllatex.ini,
cslatex.ini, xelatex.ini.
I have prepared:
texlive-base 2007.dfsg.2-1~lenny2
texlive-lang 2007.dfsg.4-1+lenny1
texlive-extra 2007.dfsg.17-1~lenny02
for stable-proposed updates.
The last one would replace the ~lenny01 package that is already in
stable.
The texlive-lang is the first update for stable.
The question is about the first, texlive-base, where I have already
uploaded one version (~lenny1) to stable-proposed-updates, but that has
not been accepted by now.
Should I upload a new ~lenny1 with the additional fixes or should I
upload ~lenny1 for that package?
All the best
Norbert

LE TOUQUET (n.)
A mere nothing, an unconsidered trifle, a negligible amount. Un
touquet is often defined as the difference between the cost of a
bottle of gin bought in an off-licence and one bought in a duty-free
shop.
