Description of problem: Trying to compile a latex presentation with \usepackage{caption} or packages based on it (like \usepackage{subcaption}) is impossible because of a conflict between latex base and this package (see https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/426088/texlive-pretest-2018-beamer-and-subfig-collide/426090#426090). A fix has been applied upstream in the caption package (https://gitlab.com/axelsommerfeldt/caption/commit/e03e61eb7c5987644cb1d8ed336dbb5e8ee2f96f) but the one provided in Mageia 7 texlive-collection-basic is outdated. An update to the latest version is required. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 20180414-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new beamer document 2. Add \usepackage{subcaption} in the preamble 3. Try to compile with pdflatex or latexmk

bad news on that package. Since it is a big one and I wanted to split it, but I haven't done it so far. An update to this package will cause many people to redownload a big package.

The current TexLive version is texlive-20190410 so I would consider it is worth updating anyway. LaTeX users know about the size of texlive and I'm sure they won't mind if this helps fixing a broken LaTeX installation ;)

Mageia 7, x86_64 My LaTeX days are long-gone, 30 years at least, but help is available at https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/ $ rpm -qa | grep texlive texlive-20180414-12.mga7 texlive-collection-basic-20180414-5.mga7 Installed the release packages, not without errors. texlive-context, {texlive-texmf,texlive-dist} and texlive-fontsextra were followed by "yes: standard output: Broken pipe yes: standard output: Broken pipe" messages. Some kind of packaging error? $ rpm -qa | grep texlive texlive-context-20180414-5.mga7 texlive-doc-20180414-5.mga7 texlive-20180414-12.mga7 texlive-fontsextra-20180414-5.mga7 texlive-dist-20180414-5.mga7 texlive-texmf-20180414-5.mga7 texlive-collection-basic-20180414-5.mga7 $ pdflatex neophyte.tex produced a stream of output with various warnings and a viable output document. $ ls neophyte.aux neophyte.log neophyte.pdf neophyte.toc neophyte.fdb_latexmk neophyte.nav neophyte.snm '#preupdate#' neophyte.fls neophyte.out neophyte.tex preupdate $ xpdf neophyte.pdf This showed the expected output starting with the title "My Presentation Using Beamer" Holding back on the update for some comment on the novice file I used to test this. We might need Sébastien's input.
