Public bug reported: When using pdflatex with the graphics and invoice packages in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, garbage output is present on the first page of the PDF output.
How to reproduce: Create file test.tex: -----8>----- \documentclass{article} \usepackage[english]{babel} \usepackage{graphics} \usepackage{invoice} \begin{document} foo \end{document} ----->8----- Run "pdflatex test.tex", "evince test.pdf". The first page shows garbage (a list of dates), followed by the expected output: -----8>----- [2007/09/09] ... [2009/07/12]foo ----->8----- Notes: - The problem doesn't show up in Ubuntu 12.04LTS, with a local copy of the invoice LaTeX package (12.04LTS doesn't provide the invoice package), - Removing "\usepackage{graphics}" makes the garbage go away, - Removing "\usepackage{invoice}" makes the garbage go away.
