Bug#620979: texlive-xetex should depend on poppler-data to make the manual displayable

April 05th, 2011 - 11:10 am ET by Johannes Niediek | Report spam
Package: texlive-xetex
Version: 2009-11
Severity: minor


The manual file /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/xelatex/fontspec/fontspec.pdf needs
files from the package poppler-data to be present in order to be
displayed correctly in viewers such as evince or okular. Hence creating
a package dependcy should be considered.

If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries
(latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong
output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the
error in your report.

Please run your example with
(pdf)latex -recorder ...
(or any other program that supports -recorder) and send us the generated
file with the extension .fls, it lists all the files loaded during
the run and can easily explain problems induced by outdated files in
your home directory.

Don't forget to also include minimal examples of other files that are
needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps
to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures!

If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of
output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem),
you can probably minimize it further. Instructions on how to do that
can be found at

Hm, that is right.

Hence creating
a package dependcy should be considered.



This, however, I doubt. Running pdffonts on the file says that all
fonts are embedded. Running pdffonts with poppler-data removed (with
gives the error message:

Error: Missing language pack for 'Adobe-Japan1' mapping

many times. Adobe reader is able to display the file without problems,
even without poppler-data installed.


Therefore it seems to me that rather the viewers need a dependency on
poppler-data, as xpdf itself already has.
