Bug#223549: seminar doesnot work with option a4paper (was: Bug#223549: tetex-extra: seminar doesnot work with option a4paper)
Hello Denis and Sebastian,
(foreword: I understand that you don't have time to publish a new
version of seminar. But it would be _really_ nice if you could manage to
change the bug address in sem-read.me.
Also, could you please keep the Cc: in any reply?)
a user of seminar.cls has reported a bug in seminar.cls to our Debian
Bugtracking System: While the option a4 works, a4paper doesn't. This is
problematic if it is combined with geometry.sty.
A minimal document would be:
\documentclass[a4paper]{seminar}
\begin{document}
foo
\end{document}
> and subsequentely, LaTeX reports an=20
> ! Undefined control sequence.=20
> error
>
A possible fix would be:
--- tetex-base-2.0.2/texmf/tex/latex/seminar/seminar.cls.orig Wed Dec 10 14=
:58:57 2003
+++ tetex-base-2.0.2/texmf/tex/latex/seminar/seminar.cls Wed Dec 10 15:03:1=
