TypeError: __init__() takes exactly 4 arguments (5 given)

Asked by Ralf Reddin

when running "rubber -m dvipdfm test.tex" I got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    sys.exit(Main()(sys.argv[1:]))

It seems in depended of the TeX file to process. Doing things manual (latex…, dvipdfmx ….) works fine. What does the error mean? What to do?

I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander and Rubber version: 1.1

I changed in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rubber/latex_modules/dvipdfm.py

the line

dep = Dep(doc, pdf, dvi, doc.env.final)

to

dep = Dep(doc, pdf, dvi)

and got it run, but I don't understand python, so I have no clue what I did. Copied the line from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rubber/latex_modules/dvips.py as "-m dvips" works fine.
