Description Dimitri Jakov 2012-07-06 17:53:16 CEST 
Description of problem:
Building TeXLive with zlib >= 1.2.6 (like in Mga2) breaks XeTeX and XeLaTeX. This is a well-known issue and has been observed by Debian, Arch and Gentoo users. Updated package (in 2/updates_testing) fixes this.

Comment 2 Olivier Delaune 2012-07-07 09:58:02 CEST 
Hello, I tested on Mageia 2 64-bits doing xetex foo.tex. It was broken with the previous package and it is now fixed with this new package. It compiled correctly.
