Public bug reported: The LaTeX packages contained in this Ubuntu package, texlive-latex-base, are completely out of date! Just one example, in CTAN the geometry package found it's from 2010 and the one that my Ubuntu has it from the year 2005 Latest version in CTAN can be found here: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/geometry You can check your geometry version in Ubuntu with the following command: locate geometry.sty|xargs less
