Bug#432745: /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/preprint/figcaps.sty: Breaks \label and \ref with figures

[Josh Triplett <josh@freedesktop.org>]

Package: texlive-latex-extra
Version: 2005.dfsg.3-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/preprint/figcaps.sty

figcaps defines \label to do nothing before it displays figures:

\def\@figurepage{\if@figpage\@ifundefined{tf@pof}{}{%
  \@ifundefined{appendixname}{}{\def\appendixname{}}
  \reset@figtab\clearpage\section*{\figurepagename}%
  \@mkboth{\uppercase{\figurepagename}}{\uppercase{\figurepagename}}%
  \begingroup
  \def\figure{\def\@captype{figure}\vbox\bgroup}\def\endfigure{\egroup
    \vspace{20pt}}%
  \def\label##1{}%
  \@input{\jobname.\lof}\newpage\endgroup}\fi}

This makes \label and thus \ref not work in combination with
\usepackage[printfigures]{figcaps}.  Removing the \def of \label solves this
problem; the labels and refs then work perfectly.

The same code exists in figcaps.sty from texlive-latex-extra 2007-3 in
unstable.
