Hi, Lucas,

Thanks for pointing out this problem.

This is caused by a rearrangement in contents of texlive packages. This
results in missing "letltxmacro.sty", which triggers the error. Missing
style now lives in "texlive-latex-extra", but is required by "hyperref.sty",
a style in "texlive-latex-base" which should not, IMHO, require styles
outside "texlive-latex-base".

I have filed #952460 against texlive-latex-base to make this known to
texlive maintainers. Depending on their reply this will be fixed either in
texlive with a new relocation or in linuxdoc-tools (by means of an additional
Build-Depends on texlive-latex-extra, now has only texlive-latex-recommended).

In the meantime I am marking this bug as pending.

Regards,
