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 --- System information. --- Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux 2.6.28-shl1 Debian Release: squeeze/sid 500 unstable ftp.de.debian.org 500 unstable emacs.orebokech.com 1 experimental ftp.de.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ===================================-+-============= dpkg (>= 1.14.18) | 1.15.0 tex-common (>= 1.12) | 1.17 texlive-common (>= 2007) | 2007.dfsg.2-2 texlive-latex-base (>= 2007-11) | 2007.dfsg.2-2 --- Output from package bug script ---Attachment: signature.asc

Dear bug submitter, the bug you have submitted against one of the TeX packages concerns not the Debian packaging of TeX Live, nor the upstream TeX Live distribution itself, but Up-upstream, the original author of the respective package. TeX Live only collects what authors provide. Thus, neither we, the Debian TeX Team, nor the Upstream TeX Live team can fix anything regarding this bug. Furthermore, the bug you have reported is rather old. We suggest you to do the following: * verify that the bug is still present with current TeX Live (2013) installation on Debian * if yes, please report the bug to the *original* author of the TeX package, and *not* to upstream TeX Live nor Debian Other ways to deal with these bugs are requesting help from TeX experts, your local TeX consultant, or local TeX User Groups. One good place to ask questions is the newsgroup comp.text.tex, or the StackExchange website http://tex.stackexchange.com Thanks a lot for your understanding Norbert ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PREINING, Norbert http://www.preining.info JAIST, Japan TeX Live & Debian Developer DSA: 0x09C5B094 fp: 14DF 2E6C 0307 BE6D AD76 A9C0 D2BF 4AA3 09C5 B094 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
