Package: tgif
Version: 1:4.1.45-3
Severity: important

I'm running tgif because it allows simple integration of latex equations into 
the drawing.
Current release has this feature broken. Steps to reproduce the problem:

- open empty document
- Special/Instantiate/ eq4.sym, and click into the drawing canvas to 
instantiate the equation
- doubleclick on the instantiated equation to render it

Instantiation fails with 'Cannot find the 'file_name)); ....' message


I was not able to reproduce the problem with any combination of the following:

tgif version 4.1.45
 i386 system running squeeze
 ia64 system running squeeze
 powerpc system running squeeze
 armel system running squeeze

tgif version 4.2.2
 i386 system running squeeze
 i386 system running sid
 amd64 system running sid

upstream had noted a similar bug report and made a note on his FAQ
   http://bourbon.usc.edu/tgif/faq/systems.html

The only problem that I noticed was that the tgif package does not currently include dependencies on texlive-latex-base, netpbm, and ghostscript which need to be present to have this instantiation and rendering work correctly. With no ghostscript, there is an error much like what you report that the generated eps file in /tmp cannot be found, however, this does not seem to be your error. The ghostscript and netpbm dependencies were added in version 4.2.2 and I will add the texlive-latex-base dependency to the 4.2.3 package I am building now.

I am afraid that I will have to close this as I cannot reproduce it. If you wish to try a backport of version 4.2.2 for squeeze, you can find it in my personal repository

If you still are noticing the error with the newer version installed, please let me know before I close this bug.
