dot2texi: shell escape does not seem to work

[akimd (Akim Demaille)]

Hi.

I don't understand why the following snippet does not work. It does on Debian.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{dot2texi}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{dot2tex}
digraph G {
    node [shape="circle"];
    a_1 -> a_2 -> a_3 -> a_4 -> a_1;
  }
\end{dot2tex}
\end{document}

$ pdflatex -shell-escape foo.tex

My environment seems sane, and other than that, I don't have problems with LaTeX (which I'm using quite intensively).

FWIW, I have received the massive upgrade to TeXLive 2014, but it still fails.

I am seeing the same behavior.
