Bug#501520: flashcards: fails with "Package geometry Error"; even on the example page

[Hagen Fuchs <mailingliste2@gmx.net>]

Package: texlive-latex-extra
Version: 2007.dfsg.4-1
Severity: normal

The 'flashcards' package, residing in
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/flashcards/, does not properly built
the example flash card document 'samplecards.tex'

 http://www.tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf-dist/doc/latex/flashcards/samplecards.tex

and fails with 

 ! Package geometry Error: You must set \paperwidth properly.

This seems to be a known problem and has already been described:

  http://www.feferraz.net/en/flashcards.html

(see section 'Problems').  A diff is also provided.

I already tried the unstable version; same result.

Thanks,
  Hagen
