Re: Bug#896563: RM: libsynctex1 -- ROM; replaced by libsynctex2, should not be used in unstable
Hi all,
it seems something really bad has happened:
Why did libsynctex1 2018.20180416.47457-1 end up in testing?
It has a serious bug, so it should have never transitioned to testing.
I am not aware of any wrongdoing on my side, but I am open for
education. I have closed the bug in unstable, which is AFAIK the correct
procedure.
Furthermore, how should we proceed?
The texworks and zathura are fixed, but emacs-pdf-tools, gummi, and
texmaker are still open.
Thanks for any input
Norbert
