γεια,

Trying to upload installation-guide, I've stumbled upon weird issues
with dblatex, which calls xelatex and fails for unexpected reasons.
Since time is of the essence, I've decided to disable PDF generation
for Greek (el) entirely (which is the only language triggering this
issue):
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/installation-guide/-/commit/30c1dc92cb16b313543130aa2a7caa8fbabff384

I don't think that's an obvious problem with the source files, since
HTML generation was just fine…


I'd be happy if someone could double check whether that's a known issue,
report it if it's not, so that we can restore PDF output later on.


Cheers,

I seem to remember this somehow.
I filed #953474 in 2020, which might be a similar point.

As can be seen, I failed to make appropriate decisions like disabling PDF for Greek in installation-guide as a result, sadly. Sorry.
(On the other side, not the whole document was affected by this, but only
Greek characters inside of <informalexample> tags, so ...)

What makes this problem even worth is the fact, that dblatex is kind of orphaned for some years already ...
