Bug#913586: texlive-binaries 2018.20181104.49075-1 breaks context
Package: texlive-binaries
Version: 2018.20180907.48586-2
Severity: important
The routine update of the texlive packages in testing this morning broke
context on my system. Compiling any context files would fail with a lua
error; this was true both for my own files and for the Hello-World.tex
from Context Garden.
I resolved the issue on my system by manually reverting to the previous
debs for texlive-base and for texlive-binaries and its dependencies.
When I tried to re-run the upgrade to get more detailed info about the
lua error for this bug report, I found that the packages will now not
install at all: when I do 'apt-get dist-upgrade', it hangs at the stage
of generating the context formats.
The lua error involved complaining about something being ‘a nil value’;
I’m sorry I can’t be more specific, since I can no longer get the
problematic packages to install to reproduce the error.
