Unless the check is wrong and openout does appear in the log files, maybe with a different format to what is expected? Please send the *.log file and I'll look through it for what the \openout lines look like if they are there. I tried using the debugging option: TEXI2DVI_USE_RECORDER=yes ./texi2dvi --verbose Rd2.tex >/dev/null and still failed to make it break. The recorder file, "Rd2.fls", does have the "Rd2.out" file as required: $ cat Rd2.fls | grep OUTPUT OUTPUT Rd2.log OUTPUT Rd2.idx OUTPUT Rd2.aux OUTPUT Rd2.out OUTPUT Rd2.dvi OUTPUT Rd2.toc Please have a look at the Rd2.fls file and see if that line is there. As a workaround, you could also try TEXI2DVI_USE_RECORDER=no ./texi2dvi Rd2.tex and see if that works: the test for whether the \openout lines appear could be failing and this should bypass the test. > $ ./texi2dvi --version > texi2dvi (GNU Texinfo 6.0+dev) 6637 Don't understand why it isn't texi2dvi 6.1. Oh, I see, that was the commit where it broke. $ tar xf texinfo-6.1.tar.xz $ cd texinfo-6.1/util $ ./texi2dvi --version texi2dvi (GNU Texinfo 6.1) 6991 Copyright (C) 2016 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
