zlib-1.2.4 breaks texlive-bin-2009.5-2

Some functionalities in texlive-bin-2009.5-2 depend on zlib-1.2.3.4.

% mptopdf

% context

Re: zlib-1.2.4 breaks texlive-bin-2009.5-2

This is very likely a texlive error. I don't know why it assumes that version 1.2.3 is not compatible with 1.2.4; but this is just wrong. Open a ticket in our bug tracker.

Re: zlib-1.2.4 breaks texlive-bin-2009.5-2

Hi all,
Is there any possibility to downgrade to zlib-1.2.3.4 just for the moment until the problem is solved? Unfortunately, I've got to use luatex for my PhD-Thesis sad

Thanks for all help in advance!
David

Re: zlib-1.2.4 breaks texlive-bin-2009.5-2

Unless you did clear your cache, there should be zlib 1.2.3.9-1 in your /var/cache/pacman/pkg folder. Just issue (as in my case):

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/zlib-1.2.3.9-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

or whatever zlib-1.2.3... package you may find there.

Additionally you may want put this line

IgnorePkg = zlib

into your /etc/pacman.conf file to prevent pacman from inadvertently upgrading zlib again.

Re: zlib-1.2.4 breaks texlive-bin-2009.5-2

Thanks for your help, I've found the file on a server; only one thing isn't successful: pacman doesn't recognise:

IgnorePkg = zlib

What to do about that?

You must put it in the [options] section.

Thanks a lot! Sorry for this, I'm very new to Archlinux (installed just yesterday)...

You can compile texlive-bin from abs by yourself if you want to stick to zlib-1.2.4.

MPtoPDF 1.3.3 : provide MP output file (or pattern)

It's an easy rebuild that requires no patching.
