Package: texlive-pictures
Version: 2018.20190122-1
Severity: important
On upgrade from 2018.20181214-1 to 2018.20190122-1 the testsuite of
fig2dev package fails.
The root cause for this seems to be in a change of pgf code.
The fig2dev testsuite runs
$ tex test.tex
with the following test.tex input file:
------------------- snipp ---------------------
\input tikz
\bye
------------------- snipp ---------------------
with the old version this runs without problems, while with the
current version this fails with the following output:
------------------- snipp ---------------------
$ tex test.tex

------------------- snipp ---------------------
I'm not deep enough in TeX to understand what this means, but since
the input file is quite minimal and the behavior changed in a quite
bad way on upgrade, I think that this is a bug in the new texlive
distribution...

thanks Henri!
TeX Live (upstream as well Debian) keeps the "tex" binary as the
original DEK one, that is without etex extensions.
Instead we ship "etex" which does include the necessary extensions.
Thus, as Henri mentioned, please use any of the other engines.
Closing this bug
