--- Begin Message ---Subject: texlive-latex-extra: envlab + utf-8 result in "! Argument of �has an extra }" Package: texlive-latex-extra Version: 2007.dfsg.17-2 Severity: normal We have a system which automatically generates latex input files to generate letters and envelopes. The system operates entirely on utf-8 data. A fair portion of the data is western text -- i.e. we could represent it using ASCII or 8859-1 -- we do have a non-trivial amount of material which includes characters drawn from IPA, oriental sets, Arabic, etc. We recently encountered a case where a letter works, but the related envelope (same addressee, same source data for the addresses) fails. I've guessed based on this pair documents that the envlab package is somehow to blame for the problem, and continuing on from that guess, I've assigned this to the texlive-latex-extra debian package. Relevant (hopefully...) bit of the envelope .log: (/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/ae/t1aess.fd) ! Argument of �has an extra }. <inserted text> \par l.13 ...g utf-8 char (ü)\\City postcode\\country} ? I've included the two test case input files, which are cut down from the system-generated input files, and the letrinfo.tex file needed for the newlfm-based letter. Googling produced the fragile command/moving argument faq, so I spent some time dropping \protect into the input document in various ways, and I also tried creating a copy of the envlab package and trying \protect there, to no avail. Fair warning: I'm in way over my head; on a good day I can construct a simple working latex input document with lots of help from google. In particular, while the latex inputs we generate automatically seem to _work_ for most cases, I don't know that they're _correct_.

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