Hi Emmanuel, I got this serious bug report b/c of some changes in the makeindex module. The output routine of rubber uses absolute paths when calling makeindex. Could you comment on this and eventually send a patch, so the bug can be fixed for wheezy?
According to Sebastian Ramacher the problem has already been reported https://bugs.launchpad.net/rubber/+bug/706338 but I'm not sure if this is correct. Thanks, Hilmar -- http://www.hilmar-preusse.de.vu/ #206401 http://counter.li.org

Until rubber is fixed setting TEXMFOUTPUT to $(CURDIR)/tex in debian/rules is enough is enough to work around this bug.. Kind regards -- Sebastian Ramacher
