Good morning --
Earlier today, I tried applying the update for PSTricks from 2.78
(27-Nov-17 build date) to 2.80a (31-Dec-2017 build date), and doing so
caused a consistent and 'fatal' compile error:
c:\users\me\Desktop\text\MiktTex\tex\generic\pstricks\pstrick.tex
! Undefined control sequenc
According to Herbert Voss (who maintains the pstricks package):
"On CTAN is a fixed version since several days. And TeXLive already has
it" -- Herbert
So, the problem (according to Herbert) is that the MikTeX repos are
(still) out of date wrt to pstricks. I just looked 5 minutes ago, and

So, I've been trying out the new and 'fancier-looking' update console
for latest MikTex, and noticed that I do not seem to be able to select
an individual package out of a possible set of packages to update - it
seems that the new updater tries to update all possible packages that
are availabl
Applies to my query about the same issue (I didn't see Jerry's post
until after I'd submitted my own).

Hi --
Never seen this error before (in the *many* years I've been using
MikTex). When I try to check for updates, I get an error message that
"The package definition file could not be parsed".
The 'data' in the window in the error popup points at a .tpm file
Data: path="C:\Users\ec123\AppDat
Just saw on Stack Exchange that this is a 'known error' with
cellprops.tpm -- meaning, it is likely to be fixed in the
not-too-distant future.

I've been using MikTeX on my Mint-based Linux machines for several

well-enough that I don't have to fuss with TeXlive and the silly way it
handles package management, ever again. ;-)
However, while fooling and tweaking with vari

Solved part of the problem -- explicit path to SumatraPDF.exe was
incorrect in the way I set it up.
So, I *can* manually point WinEdt 11.1 at Sumatra, but still don't know
why the 'alternative viewer buttons' are all greyed out (amongst other
things...).
Moreover, if I manually edit the p
