Description:   Opened: 2008-10-10 09:19 0000 
latex2html bundles an old version of the tex url package (url.sty) whereas
texlive-latex-2008 includes an up2date version. Unfortunately latex2html gets
installed to /usr/share/texmf/ which should actually be /usr/share/texmf-site/.
So what happens is the old url.sty is naturally found first and will be used
instead of the newer version which brings more features. This breaks some
functionality with bibtex8 as well as biblatex (which is not yet in portage). 

It took me the better half of a day to figure this out and I may have to grow
back some hair on my head again. ;-)

Reproducible: Always

Not sure whether latex2html or texlive-latex ebuild needs to change (or both),
luckily the same devs are handling both packages...

------- Comment #2 From Alexis Ballier 2008-10-31 22:03:44 0000 ------- 
I've removed url.sty from latex2html-2008 as all our tex installs alread
provide it; should be fixed now.
thanks for reporting
