I sent this request for assistance to the maintainer of ghostscript and tex but haven't had a reply for a few days, maybe somebody else can
help? I apologize if I'm being impatient. I also realize that I should have put tex instead of ghostscript in the subject blame it on the
mailto I used for the email and inexcusable laziness on my part, a good subject can make the email far easier to understand.
Hi, I maintain multimedia libs and apps as wll as lilypond and I'm
tracking down the reason why libcaca fails factory build on a texlive
pdflatex command. Package log4c from devel:libs:c_c++ has an identical
failure and the timing of the failures coincide with gs 9's debut in
factory. I see that texlive uses ghostscript_x11, I'm assuming for pdf
work. Can you perhaps point me in the right direction to solve this
problem? The failure of libcaca, the only difference to the log4c
failure is log4c uses the command "latex refman.tex" and libcaca -
"pdflatex refman.tex" :-
pdflatex refman.tex

I looked through tex documentation and can't find a way of increasing
the verbosity of the output from pdflatex. Attached refman.tex.
Thanks for any assistance you can give, I'm not very tex literate.
