Bug#914729: texlive-latex-recommended: fancyvrb/xcolor "Option clash for package xcolor"

[Norbert Preining <preining@logic.at>]

reassign 914729 pycorrfit
retitle 914729 document does not compile: load order of packages needs to be inverted
thanks

Hi Adrian, hi Hilmar,

as discussed, this is something that no LaTeX package can care for, and
authors need to ensure proper loading order.

If this has changed, then the orginal document should be fixed upstream
or via Debian patches to turn the loading order around.

> I need an RC bug somewhere for a FTBFS.

Well, the FTBFS is a RC bug of the package that fails to FTBFS.
If there is an API change in some library, and my package which 
depends on the -dev package suddenly doesn't build anymore, then
my package needs to be fixed, not necessarily the -dev package.
(Well, besides we had that with the libsynctex, but that was
a very sad thing anyway).

No and Yes. Fancyvrb cannot check all possible combinations of packages
to be loaded, nor any other package. 

Please forward the solution to upstream.

Thanks

Norbert
