Public bug reported:
When using pdflatex with the graphics and invoice packages in Ubuntu
14.04 LTS, garbage output is present on the first page of the PDF
output.
How to reproduce:
Create file test.tex:
-----8>-----
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage{invoice}
\begin{document}
foo
\end{document}
----->8-----
Run "pdflatex test.tex", "evince test.pdf".
The first page shows garbage (a list of dates), followed by the expected
output:
-----8>-----
[2007/09/09] ... [2009/07/12]foo
----->8-----
Notes:
- The problem doesn't show up in Ubuntu 12.04LTS, with a local copy of the
invoice LaTeX package (12.04LTS doesn't provide the invoice package),
- Removing "\usepackage{graphics}" makes the garbage go away,
- Removing "\usepackage{invoice}" makes the garbage go away.
The following patch fixes the problem:
