Bug#761513: texlive-latex-recommended: breqn is now broken
Package: texlive-latex-recommended
Version: 2014.20140821-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
I found this exploring a breakage of imaxima (in maxima-emacs). imaxima needs
breqn, which in turns needs somthing called cmbase.sym, conspicuously absent
from the current texlive release (kpsewhich cmbase.sym returns nothing).
A bit of googling shows that the problem appears not to be limited to Debian.
A manual download of breqn from CTAN shows that their current version is O.98c
(Debian's is still at 0.98b). Cipiling this and manually installing the
relevant files in the pertinent place in place of the old files fixes the
imaxima breakage.
Tentative conclusion : texlive is late on this package and/or has broken it.
Hence the "upstream" flag.

-- Package-specific info:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: We will only consider bug reports concerning
the packaging of TeX Live as relevant. If you have problems with
combination of packages in a LaTeX document, please consult your
local TeX User Group, the comp.text.tex user group, the author of
the original .sty file, or any other help resource.
In particular, bugs that are related to up-upstream, i.e., neither
Debian nor TeX Live (upstream), but the original package authors,
will be closed immediately.
*** The Debian TeX Team is *not* a LaTeX Help Desk ***
If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries
(latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong
output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the
error in your report.
Please run your example with
(pdf)latex -recorder ...
(or any other program that supports -recorder) and send us the generated
file with the extension .fls, it lists all the files loaded during
the run and can easily explain problems induced by outdated files in
your home directory.
Don't forget to also include minimal examples of other files that are
needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps
to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures!
If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of
output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem),
you can probably minimize it further. Instructions on how to do that
can be found at
