I am running Ubuntu 8.04 and have run into the same problem. I have
read the thread and have a question. Why didn't you just inform this
thread that fancyheadings.py was depreciated in 1996. (excerpt from
fancyhdr and fancyheadings)
% May 7, 1996:
% version 1.98:
% Added % after the line \def\nouppercase
% May 7, 1996:
% version 1.99: This is the alpha version of fancyhdr 2.0
% May 7, 1996:
% version 1.98:
% Added % after the line \def\nouppercase
% BY THE WAY, THIS IS THE LAST RELEASE OF VERSION 1.
I think a good solution would be for a file / package error handler that
INFORMS the user 'file / package X has been depreciated, use Y instead'.
You eluded to this above,
I would have created a
fancyheadings.sty
as follows:
\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
\ProvidesPackage{fancyheadings}
\PackageWarning{fancyheadings}{%
============= WARNING ==============\MessageBreak
fancyheadings is outdated\MessageBreak
Please use `fancyhdr' instead.\MessageBreak
We are loading this package instead\MessageBreak
====================================\MessageBreak}
\RequirePackage{fancyhdr}
But this file is NOT included, nor updated, in any standard set of LaTeX
packages. If I search the Ubuntu repositories I find it (apt-file search
fancyheadings)
tetex-src: /usr/share/texmf-tetex/source/latex/fancyheadings/fancyheadings.sty
When I inspect this it is not the file shown above. The file is a June 1995
version. What is happening?
