Description Christian Stadelmann 2016-12-03 14:09:06 UTC
Description of problem:
After installing metropolis and enabling it in a LaTeX file, it doesn't compile due to missing dependencies

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
texlive-beamertheme-metropolis-svn40024-17.fc25.noarch

How reproducible:
always – packaging issue, should be fixed by adding requirements to spec file

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install texlive-beamertheme-metropolis
2. use metropolis theme
3. run latex compiler

Actual results:
Error message
> LaTeX Error: File `pgfopts.sty' not found.
in beamerthememetropolis.sty

Expected results:
texlive-beamertheme-metropolis should pull in all dependencies.

Additional info:
texlive-beamertheme-metropolis-doc 

The package documentation (shipped in texlive-beamertheme-metropolis-doc) states:

> metropolis depends on the beamer class and the following standard packages:
> • tikz • etoolbox • ifxetex • pgfopts • calc • ifluatex
> For best results, we recommend installing the fonts Fira Sans and Fira Mono and compiling with metropolis using XEL A TEX or LuaTEX. These are optional dependencies; metropolis is compatible with (e.g.) pdfL A TEX and will fall back to standard fonts if Fira Sans or Fira Mono is not installed.
> The packaged name of Fira Sans is Fira Sans OT in some Linux distributions; this case is automatically handled by metropolis.

Couldn't this be solved automatically? Does CTAN provide such metadata on packages?

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 19:09:52 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 2 Christian Stadelmann 2017-11-23 16:04:24 UTC
This issue has been fixed in Fedora 26. Thank you!
