Description Attila 2023-07-17 09:41:22 UTC 
pdflatex throws out an error on Fedora 38 when I try to create a PDF document from a tex file.
It no longer works since I upgraded from Fedora 36 to Feodra 38.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a tex file like

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{ae}
\usepackage{german}
\usepackage{wasysym}
\begin{document}
{\Large \Square} ~Test
\end{document}

2. Execute the command pdflatex
Actual Results:  
! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again> 
                   \protect 
l.226 ...eMathSymbol\mho     {\mathord}{wasy}{"30}

Expected Results:  
pdflatex should create the PDF document.

It works if I change the order of the packages from "german", "wasysym" to "wasysym", "german".

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{ae}
\usepackage{wasysym}
\usepackage{german}
\begin{document}
{\Large \Square} ~Test
\end{document}


Like I mentioned, the order of the packages did not matter on Fedora 36.

Fedora Linux 38 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2024-05-21.

Fedora Linux 38 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
