 Hi,

 It appears that `dvipdf` is no longer working. Feeding a valid .dvi file
 to `dvipdf` produces an empty 1-page pdf document. I attach an example.

 - The traditional route: latex, latex, dvipdf is _not_ working.
 - However, there are workarounds. The following are working and (in my
 simple example) produce a pdf file with the expected content:
   (a) latex, latex, dvips, ps2pdf
   (b) latex, latex, dvipdfm
   (c) pdflatex

 I have not tested something else. This (dvipdf) should be part of the
 `texlive-basic` port, but since I am not entirely sure, I am not
 indicating anything on the submission.
