Hello,
I'm working on my master thesis, and today it suddenly broke, i.e. it didn't
compile anymore.
After a bit of investigation, I found biblatex to be the culprit. It seems like
something very bad happens when
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
is in the document preamble.
Using another encoding (even utf8) makes it work again. However, I *really*
need utf8x (to type characters like Ā, ø, and so on), so that's not a solution
to me.
I'm attaching a minimum (un-)compilable example, just switch between utf8x and
utf8 to see the problem:
! Package biblatex Error: Incompatible package 'ucs'.
I've set the bug severity to RC, since this is a bad regression and shouldn't
go into testing without being fixed IMHO.
Thanks for all your hard work maintaining the TeX ecosystem in Debian!
David
