[Fedora TeX Live] texlive-2012 alpha on F17 beta: dblatex issues

[Benjamin De Kosnik]

talking to myself here.... 


after updating, and installing more missing deps for dblatex:

texlive-changebar
texlive-bibtopic
texlive-overpic
texlive-zapfding

and then mass-installing fonts so I don't have to deal with these fails
on a one-by-one basis:

texlive-japanese
texlive-*-fedora-fonts

(Is there a yum groupinstall *-fonts that is a meta-package for at
least the 35 original fonts that seem necessary/useful?)

I again try to regenerate PDF documentation. This fails with:

....
Build spine.pdf
built-in module pdftex registered
no support found for ifxetex
no support found for fontspec
no support found for xltxtra
no support found for fontenc
no support found for inputenc

checking if compiling is necessary...
the output file doesn't exist
pdflatex -interaction=batchmode spine.tex

pdflatex failed

Unexpected error occured
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbtexmf/core/dbtex.py", line

....

Of note are that texlive-ifxetex to texlive-fancybox are all installed.

Should I be filing this type of issue with upstream dblatex, or this
list, or what?

Does anybody have a dblatex setup that is working? Seems unlikely....
