Bug#644207: texlive-xetex: Outdated polyglossia package prevents creation of correct documents in Dutch

Package: texlive-xetex
Version: 2009-14
Severity: important

Dear fantastic TeXLive maintainers,

According to its README file, the version of the Polyglossia package
included with texlive-xetex=2009-14 is only v1.0.2, while upstream has
released v1.2.0 some time ago. Amongst other things, this release fixes
spelling errors and a off-by-one error in month name selection for the Dutch
glossary. Without these fixes one cannot produce correct documents in Dutch
_at all_, hence the "important" severity of this report.

Please include an updated Polyglossia package in texlive-xetex, so that
correct document can be produced without locally patching
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/xelatex/polyglossia/gloss-dutch.ldf

(Additionally, the Dutch translation has some further issues, reported
upstream with patches: https://github.com/fc7/polyglossia/issues/23 and
https://github.com/fc7/polyglossia/pull/25. Unfortunately, upstream seems
rather inactive lately. I would be great if these fixes could make it in
Debian, but I'll let the maintainers decide on this one.)

Thanks in advance!

    — Wouter

We just package TL, we don't modify it. The new version TL 2011
probably has the fix, hence I simply tag your bug as fixed in
upstream. If you need the new version of that package earlier,
please install it into your local texmf tree.

Bug#602964: dpkg: error processing tex-common (--configure)

As well as SED_OPTIONS, LS_OPTIONS, AWK_OPTS, and whatever.  No, think a
script provided for system maintenance can expect a "sane" environment.
What sane is may be a bit unclear, but setting ouptut options for such
tools clearly is not IMO.

System scripts should be run with sane environments if they are to
function sanely.  If you mess with the environment, you can't expect
the script to run sanely.

Root's environment should be kept basically clean, and nothing in it
should be set manually.

For my personal profile, following advice from Thomas Esser many years
ago, I do the following in my .bashrc (which gets read by scripts
before they run):

# Here go any settings which are general and can be inherited by
# scripts

umask 022
ulimit -Sc 0

Bug#644768: latex-cjk-xcjk: please update suggests for font package

package: latex-cjk-xcjk
version: 4.8.2+git20090105-5
severity: minor
tags: patch

Hi,

 This package suggest "ttf-sazanami-gothic" and "ttf-sazanami-mincho",
 however, now I as ttf-sazanami maintainer, you should use another modern
 Japanese font such as fonts-ipafont.

 And some of ttf- package move to fonts- package.

 I've create a patch for that, so please consider to apply it.
 Thanks.

Bug#467183: Long-standing bug in marvosym.sty

Dear CTAN,
There is a long-standing bug (> 3 years) in marvosym.sty that we have been 
trying to fix:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=467183

In the Debian BTS link above, there is a patch that fixes the problem.

We contacted the author of the package, Thomas Henlich, some time ago and have 
received no response.

Is there any way to fix the package without his input?

Thanks,
Jan Medlock
