[Reproducible-builds] Bug#796490: [texlive-latex-base] pdflatex does not create reproducible pdfs with multiple images

Have you run pdflatex multiple times? Beause with tableofcontent added to a 
document you have to run pdflatex at least two times (How many times exactly 
is hard to say). 

Background:
In the first step the structure of the pdf is checked and the toc file is 
created (with content at site information) than at the second run the toc file 
is used (table of content is now filled up) and than a third run is needed if 
the tableofcontent triggers, that content moves to another site...

So you sould do it like this:

for i in 1 2 3; do pdflatex test.tex; done
cp test.pdf test.pdf.1
pdflatex test.tex
cp test.pdf test.pdf.2
vimdiff test.pdf.1 test.pdf.2
