[Bug 1589644] Re: [SRU] biber 2.4 to xenial

Sorry. Biber is working as it must. My problem was that I hadn't removed the locally installed biber binary (which was the workaround in 16.04) after the dist-upgrade. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.
