In package [texlive-plainextra] version 2016.42258, file
/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/plain/graphics-pln/autopict.sty

This has been checked by
wget "https://sources.archlinux.org/other/texlive/$pkgname-$pkgver-src.zip"

Ok. Why is this wrong?
Comment by Jan Kašpar (kaspi) - Friday, 06 January 2017, 19:00 GMT
I observe break of "picture.tex" form this package:
https://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/plain/graphics
In particular, the "\picture" macro from "picture.tex" refers to macro "\pictur@" which used to be defined in "autopict.sty" but is not anymore.

Can you give a sample document that you fail to compile ?

Oh, the sample document is:
https://github.com/davidcarlisle/dpctex/blob/master/graphics-pln/exmplpic.tex

The source of plain/graphics is supposed to be compiled using the ltpictur.dtx (from Latex kernel source),
in the version of 2014. The package got broken upstream when rebuilt in 2016, because the source has evoled in an incompatible way. autopict.sty can be regenerated using the 2014 version (https://www.tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/texmf-dist/source/latex/base/ltpictur.dtx?revision=35512)

$ tex autopict.ins
$ tex exmplpic.tex

Since texlive-core 2017.46770 the file is now correctly filled.
