  • Status changed from unconfirmed to duplicate

this issue has been raised many times (for example, https://labs.parabola.nu/boards/5/topics/945) - those errors have been present for as long as parabola has been packaging texlive - it has never been any actual problem - it is related to some non-free fonts which are removed in the parabola package - the error messages are harmless - the install did not fail; and the programs should work as expected

#972 and its child tickets track this issue

It seems that this does affect the execution of programs:

$ texdoc tikz

PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (zlib library version does not match - header: 1.3, library: 1.3.1)
Aborted

nothing shows up (even with just texdoc).

Is this really a duplicate?

  • Parent task set to #972
  • Status changed from duplicate to confirmed
  • Subject changed from [texlive-core] Error occurs during installation to [texlive-core] PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API"

Is this really a duplicate?

the very same error messages "fmtutil [ERROR]: returning error due to option --strict" have been reported many times over the years

#3164
#3100
#2151

the only new information i see is "PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API"; but the subject is "Error occurs during installation" - i just assumed that it was as harmless as the rest - AFAIK, this is the first time that anyone reported a problem when running any of the programs

it appears to be a typical library mismatch though, which could be easily fixed with a rebuild, pinning it to 'zlib' to prevent future breakage

i tried - it did not help - we are going to need to move forward with #972 - either determine that texlive no longer needs to be patched, or re-work the PKGBUILDs and patches for the latest release, or simply stop packaging it
