Package: maxima-emacs
Version: 5.33.0-19
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

After updating maxima-emacs to 5.33.0-19, imaxima (= maxima launched trom an
emacs session with type setting of the results) is no longer able to give its
results. Consider the following transcript of an imaxima session :

Maxima 5.33.0 http://maxima.sourceforge.net

(%i3) display2d;

(%i4) display2d:false;

(%o4) false
(%i5) 2+2;

(%o5) 4
(%i6) integrate(atan(x),x);

(%o6) x*atan(x)-log(x^2+1)/2
(%i7)

Maxima compute correct results, and imaxima seems to generate correct \LaTeX
code. The problem seems to lie in the lower layers of interfacing with latex.

I found no other hints of problems with my texlive-full installation : sage in
emacs correctly displays its results, pdflatex correctly compiles whatever I
throw in its direction (including Sagetex example an manual). Therefor, I think
the problem lies in imaxima. Googling didn't reveal any hint of this specific
problem with imaxima. It might well be lie in Debian's packaging.

I saw that a new version of maxima mackages exists in unstable and will try
them. If problemantic, I'll report back on this bug.
