Re: [Orgmode] [PATCH] IMPORTANT: (possibly) incompatible Change

[Eric Schulte]

After updating to the current git head, I have to make the following
changes for latex image generation to work.

diff --git a/lisp/org.el b/lisp/org.el

The "AUTO" change is because the AUTO.def file is not present on my
fairly complete Ubuntu texlive latex install

: ERROR: LaTeX Error: File `AUTO.def' not found.

The other change is because `org-export-latex-default-packages-alist' is
now a simple cons cell rather than a list so cadr was throwing errors.

It seems to me these may be general problems, not just specific to my
setup.
