Mon Jun 25 20:59:26 2018, comment #4: Using SELFAUTOPARENT at all will not work on Debian, as things stand. It's easiest to hardwire it to /usr/share/texlive. Maybe if that directory exists, use it, else use SELFAUTOPARENT. Alternatively, if SELFAUTOPARENT expands to /, look for /usr/share/texlive or other alternatives. Or, leave it for the distributors. Norbert has already fixed the Debian t4ht.c source for his next update.	Karl Berry <karl>
Mon Jun 25 11:40:24 2018, comment #3: OK, it was quite easy, so the development version of make4ht now completely bypass t4ht for the ODT output. It can be requested using make4ht -f odt filename.tex It also fixes other things, like translation of character XML entities to Unicode.	Michal Hoftich <michal_h21>
Mon Jun 25 10:29:07 2018, comment #2: Thanks Karl. I am working on a new ODT support in make4ht, I've already replaced the code for packing the ODT file. I can also find a correct path using kpse.var_value("SELFAUTOPARENT") from Lua and call xtpipes directly, without need to involve t4ht at all. But that doesn't mean that it shouldn't be fixed, of course.	Michal Hoftich <michal_h21>
Sun Jun 24 23:36:44 2018, comment #1: Michal - Dirk's post indicates that the crazy %%~/ evaluated to // for him (so clearly nothing is going to work). When I try "mk4ht oolatex hello.tex" on a hello,world latex document and TL 18, it works, and the java -classpath call included /usr/local/texlive/2018/texmf-dist/tex4ht/bin/tex4ht.jar as expected. Looking at the comments in tex4ht.env, I see that %%~ is supposed to expand to SELFAUTOPARENT, which would explain a result of "/" on Debian, if they did not hack t4ht.c to suit their setup, which does not involve SELFAUTOPARENT. I guess I will write Norbert.	Karl Berry <karl>
Mon May 28 11:40:33 2018, original submission: There seem to be an issue with oolatex on Debian 9, see this blog post for details: http://dirkmittler.homeip.net/blog/archives/5404#comment-11510 It seems that there are similar issues with Xtpipes as were in Miktex. Can anybody with Debian confirm this issue?	Michal Hoftich <michal_h21>
