Bug#790442: FTBFS with new LaTeX: Unknown float option `H'.

[Martin Michlmayr]

Package: libtheora
Version: 1.1.1+dfsg.1-6
Severity: serious
Tags: patch

libtheora fails to build because of LaTeX errors.  (Note that a new
texlive entered unstable recently.)

You're using the "H" float option.  According to
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Floats,_Figures_and_Captions you
need \usepackage{float} for that, but it seems simpler solution is to
replace it with "!h".

Below is a patch that makes the package compile.  However, the options
Htbp (or now !htbp) seem very odd to me.  Reading
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Floats,_Figures_and_Captions
h means exactly h whereas t means top and b bottom and p to put it on
a special page -- which one do you want?
