Package: fp-utils-3.0.0 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
Dear Maintainer, I just found out that after installing free pascal, some of my LaTeX slides stopped compiling properly. After some work, it turns out that the reason is the presence of this file, installed by fp-utils-3.0.0 in a LaTex path I still use /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/fpc-3.0.0/listings.sty This is an horribly outdated version of the listings LaTeX package (dates back to 2002 according to the header), that misses many of the features used in modern version, hence breaking LaTeX compilation of unrelated files. I did not investigate further, and just removed all of free pascal: you might want to look at why such a file is present, and find a way to reach the same objectives without breaking the rest of the LaTeX distribution Cheers -- Roberto *** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? * What was the outcome of this action? * What outcome did you expect instead? *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.5.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ia_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ia_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.utf8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
