section numbering in 'tufte-book'

Question

I was used to use \setcounter{secnumdepth}{...} in order to get the numbers of a section shown. Today it seems, that this does not work anymore!? Here's my minimal example, for which I cannot get the section and subsection numbering.

\documentclass[]{tufte-book}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{3}

\begin{document}

\chapter{Introduction}
\blindtext
\section{First}
\blindtext
\subsection{First Second}
\blindtext
\section{Second}

\end{document}

Please, any help is appreciated... Kind Regards,

George

I can see the section numbers -- and since tufte does not define subsubsection, \setcounter{secnumdepth}{2} would be sufficient (and this is true tocdepth as well) — , Mar 29 '16 at 09:30
Hi, I'm using Document Class: tufte-book 2015/06/21 v3.5.2 Tufte-book class and I cannot see the numbers... — George, Mar 29 '16 at 09:58
That's the same version I am using. There must be something in your document that is going wrong. Delete the .aux and .toc files etc. Recompile then. The example above works for me out of the box — , Mar 29 '16 at 10:32
I'm running Debian/testing with LaTeX2e <2016/02/01> thus a rather new basis... I#ve tried on a different system (virtual machine running a ubuntu box on 14.04 basis) and it worked, thus it seems to be related to installation/version specific stuff... arghhhh — George, Mar 29 '16 at 10:56
My version is TeXLive 2015 on Linux, daily updated, so I assume my distribution is really 'new' — , Mar 29 '16 at 10:59
This works with the current version of titlesec; it's probably an instance of the bug in a previous version, see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/299969/titlesec-loss-of-section-numbering-with-the-new-update-2016-03-15 — egreg, Jun 30 '16 at 23:27
I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is about a bug of titlesec that has since been solved — egreg, Jun 30 '16 at 23:28

I don't understand why it was deleted, but there is an interesting discussion on the titlesec package which is used in tufte-books, that might cause the problem... deleted discussion

However, I've tried and changed the \titleformatstatements of section and others in the tufte-common.def file, and now everything works fine. Either there was a change in the way titlesecworks, or this is a bug... I'm not aware|sure, but so far this is a workaround for me... at least until the next update of my LaTeX installation ;)

Here the titleformat I'm using now for section...

\titleformat{\subsection}%
  [hang]
  {\normalfont\large\itshape}
  {}
  {1em}
  {\hspace{-0.4pt}\large\thesubsection\hspace{0.6em}}body
  []
