Bug#897451: pandoc: beamer output no longer works

[John MacFarlane <jgm@berkeley.edu>]

It may be that the default beamer template now includes a package
that already loads geometry.

See
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/266995/latex-error-option-clash-for-package-geometry

If so, you should be able to work around this by doing this instead:

header-includes:
- '\geometry{margin=1in}'
