[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

latexminted does not work for me anymore since about 4 weeks ago. This
breaks all source code highlighting of my org-mode pdf export.

To reproduce -- uses the LaTeX file from https://paste.debian.net/1381660/
as advent-of-wisp-code-2021.tex:

guix shell texlive-minted -- pdflatex -shell-escape advent-of-wisp-code-2021
