Issue: make: *** [pdf] Error 83 about phd_thesis_markdown HOT 6 OPEN

@Ragamuffin-Asa sorry about this, we'll look into it!

from phd_thesis_markdown.

I see tests are failing (my bad, i think, for not checking an earlier merge properly!), though not sure if this is related:

Thanks for looking into it. Since I was facing a deadline and a little rushed, I eventually solved it by exporting to .docx and (after changing the fonts etc) exported it to .pdf
It was a way to get around the issue, but of course not as handy. I am going to have another look to see whether I am able to figure something out.

FWIW, it appears this issue arose before the merge. Strangely, the Jenkins build succeeded when he submitted the PR, but failed when I merged it. Judging by the error, it's a problem with the mirror that tlmgr update is pulling from. Perhaps their SSL certificate has expired since then, but I'm not 100% sure what we can do to fix this, unless we manually pull from another mirror. @JamesOwers let me know your thoughts since you've run into so many of the sharp edges with Travis.

Hi @dendrondal - apologies for delay!

This issue should be solved. @Ragamuffin-Asa - can you reproduce your issue now when following the new quickstart instructions in the README.md?

@dendrondal - The issue with the Travis build is separate to this issue. For that, I recommend simply rerunning the build: https://stackoverflow.com/a/17624403/2550114
