Package: pandoc Version: 1.9.4.2-2 and 1.9.4.5-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
pandoc hangs when using the --bibliography option, if the package libghc-citeproc-hs-data is not installed. In this case, pandoc does not give an error message or aborts, but just hangs there. Because of this, it takes considerable research to find out what the problem might be, and how to solve it. The solution is to install libghc-citeproc-hs-data as well. As far as I can see, this package has recently been added to the recommendations of pandoc. I believe this is not enough; a standard part of pandoc's functionality is missing when this package is not there, and moreover, there is not even an informative message. I would therefore propose to make libghc-citeproc-hs-data a dependency of pandoc, or to modify pandoc to inform the user about this "run-time dependency". The problem is known upstream, see https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/406 but not considered a bug, presumably because installation of pandoc via cabal automatically fulfills this dependency. The package version I have actually installed is 1.9.4.2-2 from testing, but version 1.9.4.5-2 in experimental also misses this dependency.
