Bug#637667: libkpathsea5: breaks pdflatex on big endian platforms
Package: libkpathsea5
Version: 2009-10
Severity: serious
When libkpathsea5 version 2009-10 pdflatex doesn't work anymore, and
issues strange errors:
| Chapter 1.
| <yaws_head.pdf, id=26, 804.00375pt x 61.22874pt> <use yaws_head.pdf>
| Overfull \hbox (12.65096pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 65--66
| []
| [2 <./yaws_head.pdf>] [3pdflatex: yaws: Invalid argument
This is not reproducible with libkpathsea5 version 2009-09. All big
endian platforms seems affected, at least mips, powerpc, s390 and sparc.
See for example the following build logs:
