Dear Naram, my reasoning is: - doxygen uses itself to extract its own documentation -> if it cannot build PDF documentation for itself, it cannot build PDF documentation for any user projects using PDF output either. This would break working PDF build systems for end users. So my conclusion is that you should *wait with the upgrade* until the situation is understood. You can, in the meantime (while you are waiting for Dimitri's help): - post your upgraded port for testing on some website, to see if the PDF problem affects other users, too; - show the PDF build failures, and post them here, to see if anyone else has a clue. Hope that helps. Best regards Matthias
