--- Begin Message ---Package: texlive-latex-extra Version: 2017.20180110-1 While typesetting a book using the odf->md->docbook->dblatex path, I ran into this error from LaTeX: [127] (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/ucs/data/uninames.dat) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/ucs/data/uni-32.def) ! Package ucs Error: Unknown Unicode character 8202 = U+200A, (ucs) possibly declared in uni-32.def. (ucs) Type H to see if it is available with options. See the ucs package documentation for explanation. Type H <return> for immediate help. ... l.6839 for noncommercial use — and there have been many, many do... ? The problematic character is the HTML entity  , unicode character U+200A, also known as hair space. Could ucs be extended to understand this Unicode character? I found some notes on LaTeX and hair space in <URL: http://www.read.seas.harvard.edu/~kohler/latex.html > which might be useful. :) -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen

Maybe, but this is neither a problem of Debian nor our upstream TeX Live. If you are interested in pursuing this, please contact the authors of UCS. Furthermore note that ucs looks like unmaintained or at least not under development since LaTeX with inputenc now provide UTF8/UCS support. You might find this answer https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/201078/what-is-the-use-case-for-the-ucs-package insightful on how to setup something related to what you want. Closing this bug according to the Debian TeX guidelines as a but that is neither concerned with Debian nor upstream TeX Live, but upupstream.
