Pandoc upgrade from 2.2.1 to 2.11.2 breaks tables that worked before

Hi everyone,

I have a couple docker images of pandoc which produce a series of tables 
from markdown into a PDF.

The tables look like this:

+-----------------+-----------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| **Likelihood**  | **Likelihood**  | **Description**                      
                        |

And I launch pandoc as follows with a minimalist template:

pandoc --f markdown+smart -toc -N --template templates/default.latex -o 
myfile.pdf myfile.md

The one that works is:

pandoc 2.2.1  with tex 3.14159265 (TeX Live 2016/Debian wheezy)
Compiled with pandoc-types 1.17.5.1, texmath 0.11.0.1, skylighting 0.7.2

But when I try the binaries from 
https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/download (the amd.deb) on Debian 
Buster, using texlive-full (3.14159265 2019/dev/Debian buster):

pandoc 2.11.2
Compiled with pandoc-types 1.22, texmath 0.12.0.3, skylighting 0.10.0.3,
citeproc 0.2, ipynb 0.1.0.1

I get:

Error producing PDF.
! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again>
                   (
l.264 ...columnwidth - 2\tabcolsep) * \real{0.18}}

And no PDF is produced.

Is it a bug I should be raising?

I am new at pandoc and wondering if I may be doing something wrong. Is 
there a variable I can set for default so there's no missing number there 
somewhere?

But many tables that worked before on my doc pipeline are suddenly breaking 
in mysterious ways with this same error.

Thank you!

This may very well be caused by the custom template. Does it load the
`calc` package? Do you better results without the custom template?

I see you're using a custom template.
You may need to integrate changes from the 2.11.2 templates into
your custom template. In particular, you'll need to make sure
you have \usepackage{array} and \usepackage{calc} in there.
There may be other things you need to update in your template.

Aaaand that was it! Thanks John!

I'll take a look at the changelog from 2.11 to 2.2 to see what else I may 
be missing.

Thanks again!
