I found http://openbsd-archive.7691.n7.nabble.com/PATCH-update-zlib-to-1-2-8-td262546.html#a262548 (back from 2014) which contains a toxic rant on uselessness of newer than 1.2.3 releaseas of zlib, and this is despite 1.2.4 and 1.2.5 fixing memory leaks,...

I see that Gentoo now provides Pari 2.13. I wonder if it makes a difference.

Sage 9.2 built from source: deja vu, same `ImportError`. That is, one needs to bisect Gentoo updates rather than Sage updates to get to the root cause, it seems to...

pari 2.13 does not get installed due to a weird texlive error. No idea why it is trying to do something with `pdftex.fmt` ``` make -j4 docpdf cd doc &&...

pdftex is just broken on my system for no good reason ``` $ pdftex develop.tex This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.21 (TeX Live 2020 Gentoo Linux) (preloaded format=pdftex) restricted \write18 enabled....

it all works if I use xetex and xelatex instead.
