I hope that the smiley in Hilmar's text is meant to be an ironic one. There have been regular LaTeX updates in the past years, addressing bugfixes like that one. And I would be surprised if this wouldn't happen again, whereas as far as I know LaTeX3 is something for the not-so-near future. But indeed, there is no chance that any fix will get into sarge, I fear. You know the filecontents environment? Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ. Zürich Debian Developer
