@smiths I asked the other team who was complaining about a BibTeX issue to test this out and get back to us. Hopefully we will hear back soon! |

This fixes the missing citations caused due to the APT package caching action in
latex-pages.yml,which skips package installation scripts to speed up workflow runs. Skipping those scripts left the/usr/bin/bibtexsymlink missing causingbibtex: not founderrors during compilation, rendering all PDF citations as question marks.In other words, since we are purposefully using caching to skip
postinst, theupdate-alternativesmechanism never generates the symbolic link that pointsbibtextobibtex.original.To resolve, commands were added which links
/usr/bin/bibtexto/usr/bin/bibtex.original(or/usr/bin/bibtexto/usr/bin/bibtexu) so the Makefile can compile references fromrefs/References.bib.The file also runs
sudo fmtutil-sys --byfmt pdflatexupfront to preventpdflatexfrom falling back to user mode and printing afmtutilwarning banner. The command pre-generates the format at a system level and stores the binary files in a globally readable directory/var/lib/texmf/, leaving the toolchain in a predictable state.
