Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: tex-common
Running anything that involves update-language-def reports a programming
error due to a missing escape for a backslash (\) character. The line in
question prints a TeX command, \uselanguage {USenglish}, where the
backslash needs to be escaped, so it should read:
#
# for language.def we have to select the right language at the end
if [ "$HYPHENMODE" = "etex" ] ; then
printf "
${PCC}${PCC}${PCC} No changes may be made beyond this point.
\\uselanguage {USenglish} ${PCC}${PCC}${PCC} This MUST be the last
li
ne of the file.
" >> "$tempfile"
fi
instead of what we have now. Currently, we get these errors when
update-language-def gets run as part of some tex package configuration:
/usr/sbin/update-language-def: Zeile 779: printf: missing unicode digit for \u
It is not clear to me if all affected tex packages need updating.
