--- Begin Message ---Package: texlive-latex-extra Version: 2009-7 Severity: normal Hi, footmisc.sty shipped with texlive 2009 seems to not behave as documented regarding symbols (re)definition. Processing attached file gives an error ----------- 8< --------------------------- (./test0.aux) ! Missing $ inserted. <inserted text> $ l.8 b\footnote{ b} ? ! Extra }, or forgotten $. \@thefnmark ->{\unhbox \voidb@x \hbox {\dagger } } ... ----------- 8< --------------------------- Note that symbol definition in attached file is copied from footmisc documentation as of September 18, 2009, shipped with texlive. I did not find a new upload in CTAN. I can workaround this in TL2009 by using something like \DefineFNsymbols{mystyle}{% \textdagger \textdaggerdbl \textsection \textbardbl% \textparagraph}% but this is not backwards compatible. To actually make the definition (it was really inside a class I wrote for my notes) backwards compatible, I had to use in my class a construction like \@ifundefined{DefineFNsymbolsTM}{% ... old style definition }{% ... new style definition }% Hope this helps, -- Agustin\documentclass{book} \usepackage[perpage,symbol*,stable]{footmisc} \DefineFNsymbols*{lamport}{*\dagger\ddagger\S\P\|% {**}{\dagger\dagger}{\ddagger\ddagger}} \setfnsymbol{lamport} \begin{document} a\footnote{a} b\footnote{b} c\footnote{c} d\footnote{d} \end{document}

--- 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
