Thanks @andrikos ! Just to confirm what @rodrigog83 says: While investigating this matter, I built a fresh VM with Debian testing (stretch) just to test : biber 2.5-1 works well in it... but with texlive-bibtex-extra 2016.20160520-1 whereas xenial has texlive-bibtex-extra 2015.20160320-1 (with biblatex.sty version 3.3 in it : technically, this has been issued in 2016, but in the 2015 texlive distribution).

[Bug 1565842] Re: biber removes texlive-bibtex-extra
I have investigated this a little bit and removed biber 2.3-1 which allows to upgrade texlive-bibtex-extra. Subsequently I have installed biber 2.4 from the original biber web page http://biblatex-biber.sourceforge.net/ Unfortunately, in this combination the biber output is not compilable with pdflatex. Biber 2.3 refuses to process the biblatex files. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1565842 Title: biber removes texlive-bibtex-extra To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/biber/+bug/1565842/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
