[SOLVED] [texlive-core] /usr/bin/rungs links to a non-existing file?

After upgrading to the texlive-core 2023.66587-1, my tex project compilation fails when using `latexmk -xelatex`:

xdvipdfmx:warning: Filtering file via command -->rungs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dEPSCrop -sPAPERSIZE=a0 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.5 -dAutoFilterGrayImages=false -dGrayImageFilter=/FlateEncode -dAutoFilterColorImages=false -dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode -dAutoRotatePages=/None -sOutputFile='/tmp/dvipdfm-x.2c2b3799fefbc6836c50730a740576df' './xxxx.eps' -c quit<-- failed.
xdvipdfmx:warning: Image format conversion for "./xxxx.eps" failed...
xdvipdfmx:fatal: pdf_link_obj(): passed invalid object.

Here is what I found:
The /usr/bin/rungs file links to /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/rungs.tlu. But only /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/rungs.lua exists in the package.

Is this a packaging issue, or is it just me?

It looks like the filename changed upstream, but the links created in the arch PKGBUILD have not been updated.  To fix this issue, the PKGBUILD needs the change on line 299 from rungs.tlu to rungs.lua in the _linked_scripts list.  This could / should go to the bug tracker if it's not there yet, but in the short term you can just recreate the link to the proper target.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I forgot to mention I indeed worked around by changing the link to the .lua file.

I will check the bug tracker and create a bug report, after which I will mark this as solved.

Where?  I don't see any such reports on the archlinux bugtracker.

EDIT: though the fix is in the repos now.

I had reported the bug yesterday, but forgot to post the link. Here it is:

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/78098

It was closed a few hours ago.
