[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #48172] doc build fails with texi2dvi/texi2pdf errors on Ubuntu 14.04

[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #48172 (project octave):

                Severity:           4 - Important => 3 - Normal

Follow-up Comment #51:

I'm not sure I would classify this one as important (for the release). My
justification is that it only affects users building from hg on older
distributions. Users who build from the official 4.2.0 source distribution
will have no problems.

And I still have no insight into whether this is a bug in the texinfo.tex
macros file, or a bug in the interaction between it and Texinfo the software,
or a bug in the Octave documentation (a typo or syntax error somewhere). The
error message "etex exited with bad status" isn't particularly helpful, and I
don't know how to debug the texi2dvi process or where to look for why it
failed.
