[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#740099: pandoc: etoolbox required for YAML-style metadata block

[Michael D Johnson]

Package: pandoc
Version: 1.9.4.2-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I don't know if this affects sid, but the dependency I suggest isn't
currently set on pandoc 1.12.2.1-1.

When attempting to add a YAML metadata block to a Markdown file to be
converted to a PDF, I encountered the following error:

  pandoc: Error producing PDF from TeX source.
  ! LaTeX Error: File etoolbox.sty' not found.

  Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
  or enter new name. (Default extension: sty)

  Enter file name:
  ! Emergency stop.
  <read *>

  l.28 \def
  
I first removed the block and PDF conversion was fine. When I added it
back it failed. I created the following (super simple) markdown file
to test it:

  ---
  author: me
  ---
  
  # Test

That failed. After installing the etoolbox package everything seems to
be fine.

I would suggest etoolbox be made a recommended or suggested dependency.


Thanks,
Michael
