Bug Description

The texlive-bibtex-extra package in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is not compatible with biber << 2.4 and in Ubuntu 16.04 biber 2.3-1 is provided. Thus, it is not possible to use biblatex with biber backend in the current Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

This version compatibility problem should be solved between the texlive-bibtex-extra and biber packages.
