Hi,

I linked this message to #421969 as the final message (once every process was killed) was the same. I must say I didn't see the bug #419987 in the list (sorry about that, I will look more carefully next time). However, I did not get xmltex installed ! I installed the latest version of xmltex and now it seems to be working properly.

Thanks,

-- Pierre

Why do you think this is related to #421969?

While trying to upgrade this package, a huge number of etex and pdfetex
sub-processes were created. Probably hundreds of them ! It ate all my
memory (i.e. more than 2GB of RAM) and I had to kill them by hand to
regain control over my computer. Obviously, the install then fails.

This looks like #419987 and co. Do you have xmltex installed? Which version?
