I did a texhash, installed texlive-omega and the bin and the ls-R files weren't updated again (YaST runs SuSEconfig, I ran it once more). A simple texhash solves the problem. I mount the root filesystem with noatime, is this related? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I checked the te_omega RPM from openSUSE 10.2 and it includes a post-installation script that creates /var/adm/SuSEconfig/run-texhash. The openSUSE 10.3 one doesn't. Adding this should fix the problem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I investigated this further, and if I add: TEST=${1+$@} before line 64, and change line 64 of /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.texlive into: set -- $(find $TEST -prune -type d -and -not -fstype nfs -print 2> /dev/null) , it works fine. If I omit the redirection to /dev/null at the end, find gives a weird error message (find: invalid predicate `'), which makes me think that either bash or find is buggy. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The problem above still confuses me, though. What is the difference between TEST=${1+"$@"} and then "find $TEST ...", and find ${1+"$@"}... ? Shouldn't they do exactly the same thing? My version, that works, is: OLDIFS="${IFS}" IFS=':;' set -- $(kpsewhich --show-path=ls-R 2> /dev/null) IFS="${OLDIFS}" TEST=${1+"$@"} set -- $(find $TEST -prune -type d -and -not -fstype nfs -print 2> /dev/null) This one doesn't work: OLDIFS="${IFS}" IFS=':;' set -- $(kpsewhich --show-path=ls-R 2> /dev/null) IFS="${OLDIFS}" # TEST=${1+"$@"} set -- $(find ${1+"$@"} -prune -type d -and -not -fstype nfs -print 2> /dev/null) Why? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331884#c16 --- Comment #16 from John McManaman 2007-10-10 11:51:59 MST --- I might be missing something obvious here, yet I still don't understand. How do you explain this: linux:~> OLDIFS="${IFS}" linux:~> IFS=':;' linux:~> set -- $(kpsewhich --show-path=ls-R 2> /dev/null) linux:~> IFS="${OLDIFS}" linux:~> echo ${1+"$@"} /home/$USER/texmf /usr/local/share/texmf /etc/texmf /var/lib/texmf /usr/share/texmf /var/cache/fonts /usr/share/lilypond/2.10.29 and this: linux:~> unset TEST linux:~> OLDIFS="${IFS}" linux:~> IFS=':;' linux:~> set -- $(kpsewhich --show-path=ls-R 2> /dev/null) linux:~> IFS="${OLDIFS}" linux:~> TEST=${1+"$@"} linux:~> echo $TEST /home/$USER/texmf /usr/local/share/texmf /etc/texmf /var/lib/texmf /usr/share/texmf /var/cache/fonts /usr/share/lilypond/2.10.29 The only difference is a double space after /usr/share/texmf. Everything above is normal IMHO, there is no empty string here. Also, in the case of empty variables: linux:~> test -z $NONEXISTENT && echo "NONEXISTENT is empty" NONEXISTENT is empty linux:~> find $NONEXISTENT -prune -type d -and -not -fstype nfs -print <------- this is the output. Everything is normal again! However, linux:~> echo $@ /home/$USER/texmf /usr/local/share/texmf /etc/texmf /var/lib/texmf /usr/share/texmf /var/cache/fonts /usr/share/lilypond/2.10.29 linux:~> find ${1+"$@"} -prune -type d -and -not -fstype nfs -print find: invalid predicate `' This is weird. It makes no sense. ${1+"$@"} is not empty, even if it were, there shouldn't be an error message, which, by the way, makes no sense! I thought bash was substituting to the respective argument positions according to some well-defined rules (e.g. replace $BASH with /bin/bash, arguments are separated with spaces), how do you reproduce the above error message if you do the substitution yourself? linux:~> find -iasd -prune -type d -and -not -fstype nfs -print find: invalid predicate `-iasd' linux:~> find - -prune -type d -and -not -fstype nfs -print find: invalid predicate `-' linux:~/> find -$NONEXISTENT -prune -type d -and -not -fstype nfs -print find: invalid predicate `-' The 3 above make sense, the line with the find ${1+"$@"} doesn't. I wasn't able to find this in the documentation, so I insist that this is a bug or not intended behaviour. I ought to apologize about my persistence, however I'm still not convinced that this is intented and normal behaviour. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
