Package: asymptote
Version: 1.80-1
Severity: normal

The "-tex pdftex" or "-tex tex" options failed with asymptote 1.80, e.g.

  $ asy -tex pdftex -d -k /usr/share/doc/asymptote/examples/bezier.asy
  warning:

I'm not sure why I didn't notice the problem with earlier versions of
asymptote like 1.73.  But the fix is to install texlive-plain-extra so
that graphicx.tex, miniltx.tex, and picture.tex are found.

Should asymptote depend on or recommend texlive-plain-extra ?
