Package: texlive-latex-extra
Version: 2022.20230122-4
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
X-Debbugs-Cc: debbug.texlive-latex-extra@sideload.33mail.com

After an upgrade from Bullseye to Bookworm, the acro package breaks
compilation even if no acronyms are even defined. Documents making use
of acro compiled and functioned fine in the past (version
2020.20210202-3) but no longer compile after the upgrade to
2022.20230122-4.

This is a short sample document:

===8<----------------------------------------
\documentclass{scrlttr2}
\usepackage{acro}

%\DeclareAcronym{foo}{short=FOO, long=breaks even if no acronym is defined}

\begin{document}
\begin{letter}{recipient}
lipsum
\end{letter}
\end{document}
===8<----------------------------------------

The error is this:

===8<----------------------------------------
ERROR: Package acro Error: Patching `maketitle' failed. Please contact the acro (acro) author.

Type <return> to continue.
...

l.6 \begin{document}

===8<----------------------------------------

The upstream tag was applied because that’s where the defect is, but
action can still be taken on the Debian release. Debian should either
roll back the acro.sty version, or advance it. The current version is apparently completely unusable. Both latex and pdflatex fail to
compile it. This is the fls file:

Hi Manny,

normally I don't have time to care about issues like this. Are you willing to report this issue to the upstream author?

to report this issue to the upstream author?

The upstream project is in MS Github which is a non-starter for
me. I’ll go as far as /reading/ from the site. I’m surprised such a crippling bug has not been reported there, but I found this comment:

https://github.com/cgnieder/acro/issues/233#issuecomment-1013665911

Apparently Bookworm is using the absolute latest version of acro
(3.8). So from the Debian side, the acro version needs to be rolled
back. I have made use of the X-Debbugs-Cc feature on this message to
get the author in the loop, which I guess I should have done on the
submission.

I do not fully understand the comment, but to me it rather looks as if the author gave some comments on the new behavior of the package instead of accepting a bug.

The comment reveals that \maketitle was tinkered with in the newest
version, which is what the new error output points to as problematic.

I won't do a roll back. If you need the old version back, please install it into your LOCALTEMXMF tree and use it.

To be clear, the rollback was not suggested to fix it for me. It’s how
the Debian release would be fixed to function for everyone. Maybe I’m
missing something but I thought the point of version control and the
purpose of Debian stable targeting specific versions? This aspect of
the Debian effort is a bit murky. It’s strange that the Debian policy
manual and developers’ reference guide do not cover a rollback
procedure when a particular version turns out to be a disaster. Though
I suppose whatever would be prescribed, TeXlive is a beast that would
need an exceptional approach anyway.

Indeed I can hack around the problem to fix it for myself. I
appreciate the tip about LOCALTEMXMF. TIL there is a TeXlive pkg
manager (tlmgr), so I probably need to look into how that works.
