Package: libbtparse0 Version: 0.34-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch The purify_string function crashes if it encounters a two-letter control sequence whose first letter is unrecognized, due to a missing "default" branch in foreign_letter:
$ perl -MText::BibTeX -e 'print Text::BibTeX::purify_string("a{\\kk}bc")'
internal error: foreign_letter(): should never reach end of function
The following patch is due to Guillaume Marceau (gmarceau at gmail.com).
