Package: fonts-linuxlibertine Version: 5.3.0-6 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: za...@panix.com, debian-tex-ma...@lists.debian.org
The Libertine font project ceased to make new releases circa 2012 (you will probably already have noticed that the debian/watch file is pinging a location that no longer exists). The TeX Live people have taken over maintenance; the version of these fonts on CTAN (https://www.ctan.org/pkg/libertine/) is still labeled “5.3.0” but has received significant changes relative to what’s in Debian right now. These changes are particularly important for use in LuaLaTeX documents; without them, every document that uses these fonts, rendered with LuaLaTex, will spew warnings (listed below). I _think_ these warnings are harmless unless you want to use certain fancy typographic features, but I’m not sure, and the problems are apparently significant enough that libertine.sty contains special code to force use of TeX Live’s version of the fonts. That special code is, however, ineffective on Debian because the font files in /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/libertine are just symlinks to the files provided by the fonts-linuxlibertine package. (This is why I’ve marked the bug as severity important. I’m also cc:ing the TeX maintainers.) Please update the fonts in this package to the versions found on CTAN. It would be reasonable to consider https://www.ctan.org/pkg/libertine the new upstream, IMHO. -- Reproduce warnings by running lualatex on this file: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{libertine} \begin{document} x \end{document} -- Warnings: Package fontspec Warning: OpenType feature 'Numbers=Uppercase' (lnum) not (fontspec) available for font 'LinBiolinum_RB' with script (fontspec) 'CustomDefault' and language 'Default'.
