            Bug ID: 1398750
           Summary: The biber and texlive-biblatex versions in F25 are
                    incompatible.
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 25
         Component: biber
          Severity: medium
          Assignee: cbm(a)m.fsf.org

Build Identifier: 

When trying to build a LaTeX paper with bibliography using biber, the final
`pdflatex` command fails.
The build sequence is pdflatex -> biber -> pdflatex.

Biber complains about the format version of the biblatex control file (expected
version 2.7, actual: 3.2).

After this, `pdflatex` fails to build the final pdf because of format errors.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run pdflatex on a LaTeX project that uses biber for bibliography management.
2. Run biber to generate the bibliography.
3. Run pdflatex to build the final pdf.
Actual Results:  
The pdf is missing bibliography. The first page is empty exept for a few random
letters that should not be there.

Expected Results:  
A nicely formatted pdf with correct bibliographical referencens printed at the
bottom, as well as citations in the preceding text.

Warning from biber:
```
WARN - Warning: Found biblatex control file version 3.2, expected version 2.7
```

pdflatex fails with the following message:
```
Package biblatex Warning: File 'main.bbl' is wrong format version - expected 2.
8.

(./main.bbl
! Use of \sortlist doesn't match its definition.
l.21   \sortlist{
                 nty}{nty}
```
