Details:

I get this on Arch Linux when trying to build octave from hg-tip.

  TEXI2DVI doc/interpreter/octave.dvi
/usr/bin/texi2dvi: etex exited with bad status, quitting.
make[2]: *** [Makefile:30620: doc/interpreter/octave.dvi] Fehler 1
make[2]: Verzeichnis
„/home/haawda/paketierung/meine_Pakete/octave-hg/src/octave-local/build“
wird verlassen
make[1]: *** [Makefile:26981: all-recursive] Fehler 1
make[1]: Verzeichnis

make: *** [Makefile:10822: all] Fehler 2
==> FEHLER: Ein Fehler geschah in build().

Trying to run texi2dvi manually results in this:

This is `epsf.tex' v2.7.4 <14 February 2011>
) localization, formatting, and turning on texinfo input format.)

Output written on octave.dvi (4 pages, 2488 bytes).
Transcript written on octave.log.

Indeed there is no file preface.texi, only preface.txi.
