running xindy fails: incorrect version of CLISP

[Johan Van de Wauw]

Running xindy fails:
Call to xindy failed (errno=256):
/usr/lib/clisp-2.49/base/lisp.run: initialization file `/usr/lib/xindy/xindy.mem' was not created by this version of CLISP runtime
This bug looks very similar to the bug reported in debian before

Rebuilding the package effectively solves this bug.

[Johan Van de Wauw (johanvdw)]

I've added clisp because I believe that the current version of clisp should not provide clisp-fasl-loader-20080430 but a different version (that would have triggered a rebuild of xindy).

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Dominik (dominik-dbruhn)]

I have the same problem on Ubuntu 11.10.

[jon robinson (jonwrobinson)]

I have the same problem on Ubuntu 11.10, x86_64. It sounds like it is a recurrent problem (e.g., http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=617378).

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package xindy - 2.4-1.2

---------------
xindy (2.4-1.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * debian/control:
    - Add texlive-lang-greek build dependency. Seems no longer
      pulled automatically by TeXLive (Closes: #713496).
    - Bump Standards Version. No changes needed.
    - (lintian vcs-git-uses-invalid-user-uri): Use recommended URI for git
      anonymous access.
    - (lintian dm-upload-allowed-is-obsolete): Remove obsolete
      "DM-Upload-Allowed" field.
  * debian/xindy-rules.docs: Do not install NEWS. It is installed as
    changelog by debian/rules.
  * debian/rules: Use hardened build-flags.
  * Be kind to Ubuntu launchpad: These were fixed in fixed in 2.4-1.1 NMU
    - (LP: #871588).
    - (LP: #939545).
