Created attachment 1018607 [details] Patch for file /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/plain/etex/etex.src Description of problem: pdfcrop fails in Fedora 21 with the following error message (the relevant part of the message): ############################################################################### ! Missing number, treated as zero. <to be read again> \chardef <to be read again> \rhm@arabic \addlanguage ...\chardef \csname rhm@#1\endcsname =#5 \uselanguage {#1}\inpu... l.62 \addlanguage{arabic}{zerohyph.tex}{}{}{} ? ! Emergency stop. <to be read again> \chardef <to be read again> \rhm@arabic \addlanguage ...\chardef \csname rhm@#1\endcsname =#5 \uselanguage {#1}\inpu... l.62 \addlanguage{arabic}{zerohyph.tex}{}{}{} ! ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! ############################################################################### I have checked the files and found that pdfcrop calls etex, and that reads the file /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/config/language.def which contains the line \addlanguage{arabic}{zerohyph.tex}{}{}{} \addlanguage is defined in file /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/plain/etex/etex.src The macro crashes when called with empty parameters #4 or #5, because \chardef= needs a numeric value. I modified this file to use a default value when parameters #4 or #5 are empty. I have chosen the value "1" as default value ; I am not sure if this is right. But pdfcrop works again with this modification. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): texlive-pdfcrop-bin-svn14387.0-3.1.20140525_r34255.fc21.noarch texlive-hyphen-base-svn31131.0-3.1.fc21.noarch texlive-etex-svn31600.2.1-3.1.fc21.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install package texlive-pdfcrop . 2. Find a pdf file as test file, or create a new one with the following commands: cat > pdfcrop-test.tex <<EOF \documentclass[a4paper]{article} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \begin{document} This ist a little text. \end{document} EOF pfdlatex pdfcrop-test.pdf 3. Run pdfcrop with the pdf file, for example pdfcrop pdfcrop-test.pdf pdfcrop-test-crop.pdf Actual results: Error, no file created. Expected results: No error.
