pdftex does not find memory dump #17

Closed 1kastner closed 3 years ago

1kastner commented 4 years ago

First I believed only my local installation (Windows 10) got corrupted but the same happens in the docker image on a Linux machine:

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.20 (MiKTeX 2.9.6980)

Sorry, but pdftex did not succeed.

The log file hopefully contains the information to get MiKTeX going again:

  /miktex/.miktex/texmfs/data/miktex/log/pdftex.log
root@2a243aa2498b:/miktex/work# tail /miktex/.miktex/texmfs/data/miktex/log/pdftex.log

The log file hopefully contains the information to get MiKTeX going again:

Is there anything wrong about the current installer, is that sheer bad luck, or is there something obvious I miss? Out of the sudden I can't use MiKTeX anymore!

I have the same issue. I realized this as the docker MiKTeX fails to install package geometry. When I try to install it manually by opening a console on the docker image, then I fails on pdftex geometry.dtx with the same sort of error.

vincentb1 commented 4 years ago

Just for information, I could work around this by fooling geometry.dtx into thinking that it is not compiled by latex. What geometry.dtx does, is that if the format is LaTeX2e, then the manual is generated, and otherwise the exteraction occurs, since the docstrip program can be ran both by pdftex and by pdflatex, I just did the extraction like that:

pdflatex '\def\fmtname{tricky}\input{geometry.dtx}'

Thank you very much for that hint!
