Package: texlive-latex-base Version: 2007-13 Severity: normal hi, consider a piece of LaTeX as test.tex in attachment ; in this I am using the latin1 code 183 to generate the corresponding symbol, that is a centered dot. Unfortunately, this does not work in math mode; as you can see in DVI (in attachment as well) in math mode it is represented as a \Delta. The reason is that latin1.def defines the input byte 183 to be simply \textperiodcentered . The correct way to do that would be to use \DeclareInputText{183}{\ifmmode\cdot\else\textperiodcentered\fi} A similar problem is to be found in many other symbols. Curiously, the attached test.tex did work in older versions of LaTeX, and I had been using it for ~10 years. a. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages texlive-latex-base depends on: ii texlive-base 2007-13 TeX Live: Essential programs and f ii texlive-common 2007-13 TeX Live: Base component Versions of packages texlive-latex-base recommends: ii texlive-latex-base-doc 2007-13 TeX Live: Documentation files for Versions of packages tex-common depends on: ii debconf 1.5.19 Debian configuration management sy ii ucf 3.004 Update Configuration File: preserv Versions of packages texlive-latex-base is related to: pn tetex-base <none> (no description available) pn tetex-bin <none> (no description available) pn tetex-extra <none> (no description available) ii tex-common 1.10 common infrastructure for building -- debconf information excluded\documentclass{article} \usepackage{inputenc} \inputencoding{latin1} \begin{document} a single centered dot is � and a scalar product is $v � w$ \end{document}Attachment: test.dvi

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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
