Description Martin Ueding 2019-11-12 14:39:42 UTC
# Description of problem:

The version of the microtype package is broken in a way that it does not work together with the lualatex version: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/476740/microtype-error-with-lualatex-attempt-to-call-field-warning-a-nil-value

This means that I cannot compile a document using Pandoc and lualatex because there the template uses `microtype` if it is installed. If I try to uninstall the microtype package, dnf will try to uninstall all of texlive as well.

From the Stack Overflow comments I take that we would need a newer version of microtype in order to alleviate this issue.

# Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

lualatex: texlive-latex-7:20190410-2.fc31.noarch
microtype: texlive-microtype-8:svn46323-27.fc31.noarch

Comment 1 Tom "spot" Callaway 2019-11-12 15:56:51 UTC
If you update to the texlive-microtype package in rawhide, does this go away?

sudo dnf --enablerepo=rawhide update texlive-microtype

Comment 2 Martin Ueding 2019-11-13 09:38:41 UTC
Yes, the rawhide version fixes this issue. Thank you!

Comment 3 Tom "spot" Callaway 2019-11-13 14:13:26 UTC
OK. I think I'm going to bring the texlive build from rawhide to F31 as an update.

Thanks for testing!
