Description Jan Fikar 2003-09-08 06:16:47 UTC

when picins package is used as e.g.

\usepackage{picins}

latex says:

(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc/picins.sty
Option `picins' Version 3.0 Sep. 1992, TH Darmstadt/HRZ
! Text line contains an invalid character.
l.579 ^^Z

cure:

very simple, remove last non-ASCII character from
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc/picins.sty

this problem is probably not specific to Gentoo but more general

Comment 1 Jan Fikar 2003-09-08 06:27:08 UTC

it seems to be fixed in tetex-texmf-2.0.2.tar.gz
