I mean: I get exactly the same error message as told in initial bugreport: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=440518 % xmlto pdf README.xml Making portrait pages on a4 paper (210mmx297mm) PassiveTeX is needed for this format, but it is not installed. Please install the passivetex package. But now I realize, that xmlto has also option "--with-fop". If I use it, xmlto works fine. IMHO the best way to fix xmlto may be something like this: Use fop by default. If it is not available, try dblatex. Both of them could be explicitly chosen via commandline options, too. -- Juhapekka "naula" Tolvanen * http colon slash slash iki dot fi slash juhtolv "Boku wa ongakuka dentaku katate ni. Tashitari.
