Bug Description

xcadabra has missing LaTeX dependence which a error popup window tells me.

The error occures on using the "Help" option in the xcadabra main window.
Just pressing the "Help" button and the error window comes up.

Steps to reproduce:
1.Install cadabra
2.Start cadabra with the program icon
3.See xcadabra coming up
4.In the upper part of the xcadabra window is a "Help" button -> click it.
5.See the error window coming up

Additional:

I attach a screenshot.

The error output is:

Hi Julian, hi Kasper.

I have just found that you both are listed as original maintainers of this package on:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/cadabra

Because cadabra is in universe I would in commen bring this bug upstream, but I am not so sure that this LaTeX problem is really indicated to bring it to the cadabra bugtracker.

May be it is only a package issue and can be handeled as such.

Greetings

Hope that I have not disturbed you too much with subscribing.

The missing dependency is texlive-latex-extra - I have proposed a merge with that dependency added so that help works again.

Many thanks. Logan, can you also request an upstream sync to version 1.31 now available from

  http://cadabra.phi-sci.com/cadabra-1.31.tar.gz

That fixes a few other minor issues.
