How can the issue be solved if a minimum version is required? I'm guessing the old version will never work. Should the tests assume that the developer running the tests has the newest version of the LaTeX files needed to run the tests? My opinion is that we should assume the newest TeX Live update, but I'm not sure about non-TeX-Live dependencies. Does the "unreliable:nonstandard" label handle that situation or do we indeed need to add "unreliable:erratic" ? Scott
