Bug#718244: biblatex 1.7 are not compatible with TeXlive 2013

[Vasiliy Shlykov <vash@vasiliyshlykov.org>]

Package: biblatex
Version: 1.7-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

there is a single version of biblatex package now - 1.7. However this version
is not compatible with TeXlive 2013 which places in unstable repo because of
incompatibility with polyglossia package.

This xetex source:

\usepackage{polyglossia}
\usepackage[backend=biber,language=auto]{biblatex}
\usepackage{csquotes}

Produces following error output:

! Package biblatex Error: Patching 'babel' package failed.

See the biblatex package documentation for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.

(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/biblatex/lbx/english.lbx)

Package csquotes Warning: Using preliminary 'polyglossia' interface.
(csquotes)                Some of the multilingual features may not
(csquotes)                work as expected.


I found some explanation on stackexchange:

biblatex

Please consider an update biblatex package in unstable repo.
