Dear maintainer:

During a rebuild of all packages in unstable, this package failed to build.

Below you will find the last part of the build log (probably the most
relevant part, but not necessarily). If required, the full build log
is available here:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/202606/

About the archive rebuild: The build was made on virtual machines from AWS,
using sbuild and a reduced chroot with only build-essential packages.

If you cannot reproduce the bug please contact me privately, as I
am willing to provide ssh access to a virtual machine where the bug is
fully reproducible.

If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use
reassign and add an affects on src:pygopherd, so that this is still
visible in the BTS web page for this package.

Thanks.

Hi,

in these bugs (and a few others) there is a pattern of the following
issue (example from pygopherd):

Could someone check what's going wrong here?

Hi,
Do you have an idea how to tell docbook2x /not/ to delete the
intermediate files?

Hello,

OK, minimal example:

a.sqml

<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.1//EN" [
]>
<book id="noid">
   <bookinfo>
     <title>test</>
   </bookinfo>
</book>

process it using docbook2tex & jadetex.

The intermediate TeX file is hard to read, hence I do not really know if
the error is already in there or comes in later upon jadetex processing.
I check later.

Hi,
The processing results of docbook2tex are identical on stable and
unstable. Nevertheless on stable jadetex is able to process the file,
meanwhile it fails on unstable. For now I would assume a bug in jadetex
or LaTeX.

I reassign all bugs to texlive-formats-extra (which carries jadetex).
