I got problems build VirtualBox packages on F18 and rawhide, but not on F17, with user Manual's build.log wrote: This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.5-1.40.13 (TeX Live 2013/dev) restricted \write18 enabled. VirtualBox.spec just have : BuildRequires: /usr/bin/pdflatex have you any suggestion that I can try it ? I can't find any relevant error and doesn't use updates-testing Thanks, -- Sérgio M.
