Package: latexdiff
Version: 1.1.1-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Trying to use latexdiff-git, I got :
$ latexdiff-git -r HEAD~1 Spectro1.tex
Unescaped left brace in regex is illegal here in regex; marked by <-- HERE in
m/\\zref\@newlabel{ <-- HERE DIFchgb(\d*)}{.*\\abspage{(\d*)}}/ at
/usr/bin/latexdiff-git line 451.
It turns out that I get the same error for *any* invocation of latexdiff :
$ latexdiff --help
Unescaped left brace in regex is illegal here in regex; marked by <-- HERE in
m/\\includeonly{ <-- HERE (.*?)}/ at /usr/bin/latexdiff line 1572.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
Nothing : I can't think of any workaround...
A bit of googling leads to https://github.com/ftilmann/latexdiff/issues/43,
which hints that this bug is fixed in an upstream release not yet in Debian.
This issue also hints at a possible Perl-ish origin of the problem : indeed,
the issue appeared wit perl-5.22.1 and my current perl is :
$ perl --version
This is perl 5, version 26, subversion 0 (v5.26.0) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-
thread-multi
