Bug#520838: [texlive-humanities] covington.sty contains invalid value for \textfloatsep



Package: texlive-humanities
Version: 2007.dfsg.17-1
Severity: minor


When using covington.sty, it is not possible to change \textfloatsep afterwards.
The following document results in an error message:

>>>

\documentclass{scrartcl}

\usepackage{covington}
\showthe\textfloatsep

\begin{document}

\end{document}

<<<

The offending line in covington.sty is:

\renewcommand{\textfloatsep}{0.7in}

If that line is commented out, all is well.


Actually; I don't see why it's the business of this package to readjust this value 
at all, and 0.7in is quite a large distance - the default is 20pt.

best,


Torsten
