Public bug reported:

The version of dvisvgm in texlive-extra in wily is old (2 releases old
in fact) and contains bugs that prevent rendering of some chars and that
got fixed in more recent versions.

This gives trouble in using the texmaths extension in Libreoffice.

See https://sourceforge.net/p/texmaths/bugs/59/

Please provide a fixed dvisvgm
