Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rubber
A LaTeX document I want to compile to PDF using rubber contains
Postscript files. These files have to be converted, but the call to
epstopdf fails:
$ rubber -vv -d document.tex
...
converting figure.eps to PDF...
executing: epstopdf --outfile=figure.pdf figure.eps
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/rubber", line 9, in <module>
sys.exit(Main()(sys.argv[1:]))
File "/usr/share/rubber/rubber/cmdline.py", line 296, in __call__
return self.main(cmdline)
File "/usr/share/rubber/rubber/cmdline.py", line 260, in main
ret = env.final.make(self.force)
File "/usr/share/rubber/rubber/__init__.py", line 223, in make
ret = src.make()

ret = self.run()

File "/usr/share/rubber/rubber/__init__.py", line 705, in execute
os.execve(progname, prog, penv)
OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error
process 6231 (epstopdf) returned 256
'epstopdf' failed
The Gentoo bugzilla has an entry describing the same problem:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=289818
Basically, the problem is with the silly perl locating trickery in the
first line of epstopdf. Rubber just tries to execute it as an
executable, but there is no shebang.
This is rubber package 1.1-2.2ubuntu1 and texlive-font-utils
2009-7ubuntu3 (containing epstopdf) on Ubuntu Lucid / 10.04.
