Bug#887424: texlive-plain-extra: autopict.sty is broken
Package: texlive-plain-extra
Version: 2016.20170123-5
Severity: normal
Hello!
The package graphics-pln is broken in Debian Jessie. The cuplrit is that
the autopict.sty file (generated from ltpictur.dtx during package build)
contains only comments and \endinput and lacks the definitions of essential
macros like \pictur@.
As Asymptote depends on graphics-pln when using plain TeX, some Asymptote
pictures cannot be compiled any longer.
Replacing autopict.sty with the version present in Jessie solves the problem.
This package was replaced by texlive-plain-generic in unstable, but the
file is broken there, too.
-- 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the run and can easily explain problems induced by outdated files in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
http://www.minimalbeispiel.de/mini-en.html (english)
