Comment 28 for bug 55273

I do not want to appear impatient but Hardy will be released in 6 days and this bug affects many people. A working patch is already available.

Could the package maintainer please include the patch so that it will be released with Hardy? Or are there any problems with the patch? If yes, please notify us, so that we can work on a fix.

The patch only affects eqtexsvg.py which is only used by the LaTeX-plugin, so there should be no side effects or regressions.
