--- Begin Message ---Package: tetex-bin Version: 2.0.2-4.2 Severity: wishlist -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 When a "\newcommand" argument does not start with the "\", the error messages indicate that there is a missing \begin{document}, and the help message (as displayed by aucTeX) says that output was produced prior to the \begin{document}. It does not in any way indicate that the "\" was missing, and should. This is probably a very common error, since "\newenvironment" takes a first argument that does NOT start with a "\". That's confusing. - -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux bittersweet.hegbloom.net 2.4.20-vp6+evms+xfs #1 SMP Tue Jul 8 21:21:18 PDT 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (ignored: LC_ALL set) Versions of packages tetex-bin depends on: ii debconf 1.3.8 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.5.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii dpkg 1.10.10 Package maintenance system for Deb ii ed 0.2-20 The classic unix line editor ii libc6 2.3.1-17 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.3.1-0rc2 GCC support library ii libkpathsea3 2.0.2-4.2 shared libkpathsea for teTeX ii libpng12-0 1.2.5.0-4 PNG library - runtime ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.1-0rc2 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libwww-ssl0 [libwww0] 5.4.0-6 The W3C-WWW library (SSL support) ii libxaw7 4.3.0-0ds4 X Athena widget set library ii perl 5.8.0-19 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii t1lib1 1.3.1-1 Type 1 font rasterizer library - r ii tetex-base 2.0.2-4.1 basic teTeX library files ii xlibs 4.3.0-0ds4 X Window System client libraries ii zlib1g 1:1.1.4-14 compression library - runtime - -- debconf information excluded -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/MSmIXJUuCYSgCFURAu+DAKDjzMuZQz/Hh6RlZ/bhc0SgegrJYQCg6mD/ oEIxhucX2l7SgTBNVEJhlzQ= =R7Ae -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

--- Begin Message ---Dear bug submitter, the bug you have submitted against one of the TeX packages concerns not the Debian packaging of TeX Live, nor the upstream TeX Live distribution itself, but Up-upstream, the original author of the respective package. TeX Live only collects what authors provide. Thus, neither we, the Debian TeX Team, nor the Upstream TeX Live team can fix anything regarding this bug. Furthermore, the bug you have reported is rather old. We suggest you to do the following: * verify that the bug is still present with current TeX Live (2013) installation on Debian * if yes, please report the bug to the *original* author of the TeX package, and *not* to upstream TeX Live nor Debian Other ways to deal with these bugs are requesting help from TeX experts, your local TeX consultant, or local TeX User Groups. One good place to ask questions is the newsgroup comp.text.tex, or the StackExchange website http://tex.stackexchange.com Thanks a lot for your understanding Norbert ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PREINING, Norbert http://www.preining.info JAIST, Japan TeX Live & Debian Developer DSA: 0x09C5B094 fp: 14DF 2E6C 0307 BE6D AD76 A9C0 D2BF 4AA3 09C5 B094 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
