Package: texlive-latex-base
Version: 2007-10
Severity: normal

If the original LaTeX source uses the "color" package, "xdvi -rv"
shows figure captions and page numbers in black, which is invisible in
default colors.  I confirmed they are black by

  $ /usr/bin/xdvi -fg gray80 -bg gray20 -rv try.dvi

(The xdvi is from the texlive-base-bin Debian package.)
The following LaTeX source demonstrates the problem:

  \documentclass{article}
  \usepackage{color}
  \begin{document}
  This is text.
  \begin{figure}
  \caption{This is caption}
  \end{figure}
  This is text again.
  \end{document}

Without the color package, figure captions and page numbers are
displayed in the foreground color.

Shouldn't the color package use "foreground" instead of "black"?

Thank you for your attention,
Ryo

Dear bug submitter,

the bug you have submitted against one of the TeX packages concerns
not the Debian packaging of TeX Live, nor the upstream TeX Live 
distribution itself, but Up-upstream, the original author of
the respective package.

TeX Live only collects what authors provide.

Thus, neither we, the Debian TeX Team, nor the Upstream TeX Live team
can fix anything regarding this bug.

Furthermore, the bug you have reported is rather old.

We suggest you to do the following:
* verify that the bug is still present with current TeX Live (2013)
  installation on Debian
* if yes, please report the bug to the *original* author of the TeX
  package, and *not* to upstream TeX Live nor Debian

Other ways to deal with these bugs are requesting help from TeX experts,
your local TeX consultant, or local TeX User Groups. One good place to
ask questions is the newsgroup comp.text.tex, or the StackExchange
website http://tex.stackexchange.com


Thanks a lot for your understanding

Norbert
