Hi Michael,
1. I've been using VBox version 6.1.8, one version behind the latest.
Today I updated to 6.1.10, but the problem persists.
2. No, I'm not using -j, but today I tried -j2 to see what would
happen. Both threads got stuck, one while processing feta11.pfb, and
the other while processing feta-noteheads11.pfb. The command line
printed two copyright notices, as expected, but nothing else has changed.
3. Yes, I ran apt update. I also set up another VM /without/ running
apt update, to see if that would change anything. The issue was still
there.
4. No, I didn't. I can't seem to find an invoke-mf2pt1.sh file
anywhere. Where should it be?
5. I have a few VMs set up as of this week, all of which have the
issue. The most recent one I made has no extra IDE installed or extra
files hanging around. I just followed the setup instructions and
attempted to build master, nothing else. It's as close as I can get to
a MWE. Would you like to see that one, or my original workspace?
