Subject: FTBFS with new LaTeX: Unknown float option `H'.

Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2015 11:32:43 -0400

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: libtheora
Version: 1.1.1+dfsg.1-6
Severity: serious
Tags: patch

libtheora fails to build because of LaTeX errors.  (Note that a new
texlive entered unstable recently.)

You're using the "H" float option.  According to
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Floats,_Figures_and_Captions you
need \usepackage{float} for that, but it seems simpler solution is to
replace it with "!h".

Below is a patch that makes the package compile.  However, the options
Htbp (or now !htbp) seem very odd to me.  Reading
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Floats,_Figures_and_Captions
h means exactly h whereas t means top and b bottom and p to put it on
a special page -- which one do you want?

Martin

Thanks for the report. We fixed this upstream by adding the package;
we were using the [H] directive specifically in those two sections to
keep the packet layout at the top of the section for easy reference.

https://git.xiph.org/?p=theora.git;a=commitdiff;h=fbb275803696085225c310773474ef4dcf8a4528

With the current source text, [!h] seems to work well enough, but [H]
is more robust since we needed to be specific there at some point
during development.

Thanks for the fix, Ralph! I just backported it into the package.
