Bug#361564: tetex-extra: sample file plbib.bib is ill-formed

[Norman Ramsey <nr@eecs.harvard.edu>]

Package: tetex-extra
Version: 3.0-17
Severity: normal


File /usr/share/texmf-tetex/bibtex/bib/plbib/plbib.bib contains an @
sign in an email address, and because bibtex does not recognize % as a
comment character, it causes an error when running bibtex on this
file.

To trigger the bug:

  : nr@curlycoat 10107 ; cat pl.tex
  \documentclass{article}
  \begin{document}
  \nocite{*}
  \bibliographystyle{plain}
  \bibliography{plbib}
  \end{document}

  : nr@curlycoat 10099 ; bibtex pl
  This is BibTeX, Version 0.99c (Web2C 7.5.4)
  The top-level auxiliary file: pl.aux
  The style file: plain.bst
  Database file #1: plbib.bib
  "," immediately follows an entry type---line 5 of file plbib.bib
   : % According to Staszek Wawrykiewicz <staw@gust.org.pl>
   :                                                       , these files
  I'm skipping whatever remains of this entry
  (There was 1 error message)
  : nr@curlycoat 10100 ;


Here's a patch:

: nr@curlycoat 10105 ; diff -u plbib.bib~ plbib.bib

-- Package-specific info:
If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries 
(latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong
output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the
error in your report. Don't forget to also include minimal examples of
other files that are needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps
to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures!

If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of
output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem),
you can probably minimize it further. Instructions on how to do that
can be found at

http://www.latex-einfuehrung.de/mini-en.html (english)

or
