I'd kindly ask you to consider a fix for BTS #863890 for the next
jessie point release:
Then this should be a p-u request; fixing.
It has been reported that jessie-stretch dist-upgrades abort because
of the dblatex postrm script failing: it calls texlive-binaries
command mktexlsr which is unavailable at this very moment.
The fix is simple, but needs to be applied to the jessie version of
dblatex.
The same issue appears to apply to the dblatex package in unstable,
which means it needs fixing there first.
BTW, is there a final jessie point release planned to fix
such dist-upgrade problems?
Why do you say "final jessie point release"? jessie will be supported as
oldstable for the next year, as is usual.
+dblatex (0.3.5-3) stable; urgency=high
The version should be 0.3.5-2+deb8u1, and the distribution should be
"jessie" - not least because by the time the update gets processed,
jessie may no longer be stable; it certainly won't be by the time the
next point release happens.
Regards,
Adam
