Bug#361562: tetex-extra: package includes ill-formed .bib file



gentlemen,

    The file /usr/share/texmf-tetex/bibtex/bib/ams/amsxport-options.bib
    is badly formed.  The author has forgotten that bibtex does not
    support a comment character.  As a result, any latex file which uses
    this bibliography fails.

after investigating the reported problem, we have
determined that the version of amsrefs included in
tetex is probably old -- this option is obsolete
in version 2.

the current release, dating from 2004, is present
on ctan and also available from the ams web page
  http://www.ams.org/tex/amsrefs.html

please upgrade.
