Package: ttf-linux-libertine
Version: 4.4.1-4
Severity: important
In #523186, a patch was introduced which renames LinLibertine_Re.ttf to
"Linux Libertine O" (check with fontforge
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/linux-libertine/LinLibertine_Re.ttf). Note that
the truetype font (.ttf) was renamed!
When downloading Linux Libertine in the same version (4.4.1) from sourceforge,
you get a tgz containing LinLibertine_Re-4.4.1.otf (name "Linux Libertine O")
and LinLibertine_Re-4.4.1.ttf (name "Linux Libertine"). In my opinion, bug
#523186 was fixed in a wrong way (by renaming the ttf to the otf name instead
of just including the otf fonts).
Now consider the following XeTeX document (say, mwe.tex):
\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\setmainfont{Linux Libertine}
\begin{document}
test
\end{document}
When running "xelatex mwe.tex" with the ttf-linux-libertine package, you get
the following error:
kpathsea: Invalid fontname `Linux Libertine', contains ' '
! Font \...@basefont="Linux Libertine" at 10.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file
or installed font not found.
\...@fontspec ...ntname \...@suffix " at \...@size pt

l.3 \setmainfont{Linux Libertine}
When replacing the ttf files with the original ones from sourceforge, it works
fine. So, please do not include the patch renaming this font any longer, it
breaks documents.
PS: There later was a similar bug, #511145, which was "fixed" by applying a
workaround in fontconfig. I think XeTeX does not use fontconfig and thus
requires the font name to actually be correct.
