RHBA-2009:1118 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated teTeX packages that fix various bugs are now available.

Description

TeTeX is an implementation of TeX. TeX takes a text file and a set of
formatting commands as input, and creates a typesetter-independent DeVice
Independent (dvi) file as output.

These updated packages fix the following bugs:

• TeTeX provides the lineno package, which could cause conflicts with

tetex-lineno package that is packaged separately. This update fixes the
package conflict.

• Universal symbols are now provided that allow users to install

a particular TeX component regardless of the current TeX distribution.

• These updated teTeX packages no longer display warnings on verification.
• lamstex fonts are now included, which are needed for proper functionality

of other TeX components.

Users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve
these issues.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
