in case it matters (as the "Which java" line does not tell), java is
really /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java, from
openjdk-7-jre-headless 7u51-2.4.5-2, and libpdfbox-java 1:1.8.4+dfsg-1
was installed as described in bug #611298.

Hi,
hille@sid-amd64:~$ java -jar
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/scripts/pax/pax.jar tps62120.pdf
* Processing file `tps62120.pdf' ...
hille@sid-amd64:~$ ls -ltr

This should have been solved years ago, we just forgot to close it sorry!
