Re: Changes to LaTeX
Rich, I could do that, but why for as they say here? This has happened for the second time in as many years so it's not really worth the effort. This happens because LaTeX is being revised significantly and thus needs to be lived with :-)-O I have every box I work with connected to a hard drive and to a Time Capsule running Time Machine of both. Once I figured out how far to go back, it took 20 seconds to start Time Machine, and a few minutes to restore. On the other machines I have configured tlmgr differently and just restored the version number. greetings, el On 2020-10-14 14:32 , Rich Shepard wrote: > On Wed, 14 Oct 2020, Dr Eberhard Lisse wrote: > >> The quick fix is to roll back >> tlmgr restore latex 53958 >> which implies that tlmgr should have been configured to keep a number >> of backups :-)-O. > ... > >> because I didn't keep enough backups but you want to look for a >> backup from 2020-10-08 or earlier. > > EL, > > I use linux, not macOS but ...

Changes to LaTeX
Hi, I have come across some really obscure errors when trying to compile my previously mentioned handbook after upgrading LaTeX with the tlmgr which I do at least weekly (on the Mac). The underlying reason is that changes have been made to LaTeX' internal and in my case the catoptions.sty is implicated (but google shows there are others). https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/565937/catoptions-menukeys-packages-compilation-error/566042 The quick fix is to roll back tlmgr restore latex 53958 which implies that tlmgr should have been configured to keep a number of backups :-)-O. On the laptop at home I had to Time Machine my whole /usr/local/texlive/2020basic because I didn't keep enough backups but you want to look for a backup from 2020-10-08 or earlier. On the others it worked out of the box. Then you try and see if the failed document compiles. Then run the usual tlmgr update --self --all try whether it fails and if so, run the above restore after which you try the compile again. I am now going to monitor the updates a bit more closely, do them on the laptop first and if necessary go back as above (step by step) greetings, el -- If you want to email me, replace nospam with el -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
