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tetex is probably old -- this option is obsolete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.
