Package: texlive-latex-base
Version: 2007-13
Severity: normal

Hi,

ccreating a PDF file for the document dselect-beginner from DDP fails
for language sk with the following error:

(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/graphics/color.sty
! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again> 
                   ^
                   l.28 \catcode`\^^A
                                     =\catcode`\%
                                     ? q

There is no problem with latex, only pdflatex is affected.
