Package: texlive-extra-utils
Version: 2011.20120424-1
Severity: important

Hello,
I've recently upgraded texlive-* packages, after removing package pdfjam.
Unfortunately, I seem to have found out a regression in pdfjam
(version 2.08, now included in package texlive-extra-utils).

I am attaching a minimal testcase that reproduces the issue for me.

Steps to reproduce the bug:

  $ tar xzf minimal_testcase.tar.gz
  $ cd minimal_testcase
  $ ls
  Makefile    onefig.svg    otherfig.pdf     test_pdfjam.tex
  onefig.pdf  otherfig.agr  test_pdfjam.pdf
  $ make
  pdfnup --suffix 1x1 --nup 1x1 --paper a4paper --noautoscale false --landscape test_pdfjam.pdf
            ----
    pdfjam: This is pdfjam version 2.08.
    pdfjam: Reading any site-wide or user-specific defaults...
            (none found)
    pdfjam: Effective call for this run of pdfjam:
            /usr/bin/pdfjam --suffix nup --nup '2x1' --landscape --suffix 1x1 --nup '1x1' --paper a4paper --noautoscale 'false' --landscape -- test_pdfjam.pdf - 
    pdfjam: Calling pdflatex...
    pdfjam: FAILED.
            The call to 'pdflatex' resulted in an error.
            If '--no-tidy' was used, you can examine the
            log file at
                    /var/tmp/pdfjam-LFOc0Q/a.log
            to try to diagnose the problem.
    pdfjam ERROR: Output file not written
  make: *** [test_pdfjam-1x1.pdf] Error 70


I obtain this error message and no test_pdfjam-1x1.pdf file.

Please note that, with the more complicated presentation file I was actually
working on, I obtained errors from a good number of pdfjam related tools
(pdfnup, pdfjam-slides3up, pdfpun, ...).

Please also note that the more complicated presentation file caused no
errors with pdfjam from package pdfjam/2.05-2 .
In other words, this seems to be a regression, hence the severity of the
bug report.

It is worth noticing that, if you want to regenerate the PDF files
included in the gzipped tar archive, you can do so from the correspoding
source files:

  $ rm *.pdf
  $ make

but you will need the following packages:

  # aptitude install grace inkscape \
    texlive-font-utils texlive-latex-base

Finally, please note that I experience this issue with some files only.
The attached example seems to be a minimal testcase that reproduces
the problem.


I cannot understand what's going on.
I hope you are able to pinpoint the problem and fix it.

Thank you for your time!

I have uploaded a new version, but forgot the close the bug in
the changelog, so I do it here now. Closing this bug, it does not
segfault but works.

Best wishes
