Package: biblatex
Version: 1.6-1
Severity: normal

Upon installing biblatex 1.6-1, my book (which includes a references
section per part) no longer generates the partial *.blx.aux files when
being built. My preamble includes:

\usepackage[style=authoryear, backref=true, backrefstyle=two,
    refsection=part, block=ragged]{biblatex}
\ExecuteBibliographyOptions{ autocite=inline, sortcites=true,
    labelyear=true, uniquename=true}
\bibliography{seco3}

So, from the seco3.bib file, four files (one per part --
seco31.blx.aux, seco32.blx.aux, seco33.blx.aux, seco34.blx.aux) should
be generated, and bibtex is run for each. Of course, if I run bibtex
on the core seco3.aux file, the complete reference section is repeated
at the end of each part.

Downgrading to 1.4c-1 fixes the problem.

Full sources for the book are available on request (of course, I'm not
inlining them here in order not to bloat the BTS and your mailbox)

Hello Hilmar,

Ufff, such an old bug! The book I had an issue with was published in
2011 :-)

And as for me... I notice I didn't reply to two nudges on this bug, in
2013 and in 2019. Sorry!

Yes, please close the bug now. In fact, I'm changing the Cc: to
637127-done@bugs.debian.org; I don't know if we should be specifying a
version or something, but that can be corrected after the fact (-:

Thanks!
