Package: tetex-bin
Version: 2.0.2-17
Severity: normal
On a document of mine, too complex to be sent as a
minimal example, e-TeX seems broken with registers
after 255. The following input:
\makeatletter
\[ \AR = \boldsymbol{\AR}\show\z@\]
\show\z@
produces:
> \z@=\dimen263.
l.19 \[ \AR = \boldsymbol{\AR}\show\z@
\]
?
> \z@=\count4160.
l.20 \show\z@
Adding \tracingall provides absolutely no information about
\dimen263 or \z@.
Moreover, the following input:
\let\safezero=\z@
\show\safezero
\[ \AR = \boldsymbol{\AR}\show\z@\]
\show\z@
\show\safezero
produces:
> \safezero=\dimen263.
l.16 \show\safezero
?
LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `U/wasy/b/n' in size <5> not available
(Font) Font shape `U/wasy/m/n' tried instead on input line 19.
> \z@=\dimen263.
l.19 \[ \AR = \boldsymbol{\AR}\show\z@
\]
?
> \z@=\count4160.
l.20 \show\z@
?
> \safezero=\count4160.
l.21 \show\safezero
?
Here is a minimal example (amsmath is required to show the bug):
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\makeatletter
\dimendef\z@=263\relax
\z@=0pt\relax
\[aa\]
\show\z@
\end{document}
My guess is that one of the "magical stuff" done to \z@ by
amsmath (and seems to be by other packages, and perhaps even
by the LaTeX kernel itself) makes e-TeX wrong.
Of course, the same example just runs fine in lambda (omega)
which also allows registers >255 (but have other bugs elsewhere).

Changes:
tetex-bin (3.0-9) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Upload new upstream release to unstable. The changelog of the
versions in experimental is available in
changelog.Debian.experimental.gz.
.
Upstream changes:
.
* Lots of bugs are closed by this upload - all bugs listed below have
already been tagged fixed-upstream, and there should be an explanation
in the bug logs at http://bugs.debian.org/<bugnumber>. In some cases
the explanation is only a link to the LaTeX Project bug database, or
it is in the comments of the mail sent to the control server, but it's
always there.
.
- bugs of xdvi: (closes: #107637, #111983, #168080, #175560, #277499,
#222398, #243384, #269778, #186209)
.
- bugs of dvips: (closes: #277499, #102120, #123763, #53927, #249466,
#287309, #266718)
- miscellaneous bugs: (closes: #83146, #107258, #137823, #175794,
#176526, #197259, #209347, #219630, #225687, #232420, #238627,
#264394, #273596, #273597, #182215, #255101, #285395, #201935)
.
* Files are now arranged according to the TeX Directory Structure v. 1.1
(changes mainly involve font maps and encoding files, and the script
directory).
* texconfig / updmap / fmtutil can now be used to create user-specific
configuration. For system-wide configuration, use texconfig-sys,
updmap-sys or fmtutil-sys. The debian-specific scripts update-updmap,
update-fmtutil and update-language have been adapted accordingly.
* Other important upstream changes are described shortly in
/usr/share/doc/tetex-bin/NEWS.gz.
* The libkpathsea library has a new soname. Developers, please do not
yet upload packages linked against libkpathsea4, in order to prevent
the library transition from being mixed with ongoing transitions
(closes: #334005)
.
Debian-specific changes:
.
* For details concerning users, see
/usr/share/doc/tetex-bin/README.Debian.gz and
/usr/share/doc/tetex-bin/NEWS.Debian.gz, and - especially for
developers - the Debian TeX Policy draft in the tex-common package.
* The packaging has been revised and partly rewritten:
- We now work with a pristine upstream tarball as orig.tar.gz
- Most files needed for creation of the package, as well as the
maintainer scripts, are now generated using ePerl. The configuration
is done, as much as possible, through the files variables,
common.variables, and common.functions
- To synchronise this and the tetex-base package, common.functions and
common.variables from the tex-common package tree are used.
- We also build-depend on tex-common and use a single-file patch
Makefile snippet it provides.
* We provide infrastructure to allow for easy backporting of teTeX 3.0
to sarge.
* Dropped build-dependency on xlibs-dev - all necessary libraries are
pulled in by libxaw8-dev or libxaw7-dev (closes: #258256, #241090).
* Reverted error handling in the postinst script. A configured tetex-bin
package now guarantees that the formats have been built.
* We changed the system to behave less strict and accept font map and
enc locations according to the old TeX Directory structure. This will
hopefully be dropped later in the release cycle of etch.
* Some code to support upgrades from pre-woody has been dropped. Most
notably, the TEXMFOLDLOCAL tree is no longer supported
* Conflict with jadetex <= 3.13-3, since it does not yet cooperate
(closes: #299537, #298884)
* Add a patch that allows xdvi to read from file descriptors, instead of
filenames (closes: #300109)
* Add a hunk to patch-texdoctk to allow again to view documentation.
* Explain -s option to texdoc in the manpage, and make it really work
(closes: #301156, #301115)
* Add Conflicts/Replaces ctie (no point adding provides, as no other
package appears to depend on it)
* Apply patch by Matthias Klose to allow building with xorg (closes:
#310434).
* Re-libtoolize with newer libtool to allow building for GNU/KFreeBSD,
minimal patch thanks to Aurelien Jarno <aurel32@debian.org> (closes:
#320141).
* Now uses ${misc:Depends} to generate debconf dependency (closes:
#332114)
* The following bugs only existed in experimental and were marked as
fixed-in-experimental by uploads to experimental. Some of them might
not have been closed manually, therefore this upload to unstable
finally closes: #304294, #320812, #309185, #299877, #299942, #299809,
#299645, #298257, #298315, #302052, #327129, #332397, #332301,
