Package: texlive-latex-recommended
Version: 2020.20200629-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

An article I was working on started to throw me lots and lots of errors and not
generating any PDF when passed to `pdflatex` after the last upgrade of Texlive.

I reduced the problem to the followint test case:

    \documentclass{article}
    \usepackage{mdframed}
    \begin{document}
    haha
    \end{document}

The errors I get start with:

    % pdflatex test.tex
    This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.21 (TeX Live 2020/Debian)
(preloaded format=pdflatex)
     restricted \write18 enabled.
    entering extended mode
    (./test.tex
    LaTeX2e <2020-02-02> patch level 5
    L3 programming layer <2020-04-06>
    (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/article.cls
    Document Class: article 2019/12/20 v1.4l Standard LaTeX document class
    (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/size10.clo))
    (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/mdframed/mdframed.sty
    (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/kvoptions/kvoptions.sty
    (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/graphics/keyval.sty)
    (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/ltxcmds/ltxcmds.sty)
    (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/kvsetkeys/kvsetkeys.sty))
    (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/l3packages/xparse/xparse.sty
    (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/l3kernel/expl3.sty
    ! Undefined control sequence.
    l.67   \bool
                _new:N \g__expl_reload_bool
    ?

Same happens if I usepackage on "xparse" rather than "mdframed", tho I'm not
familiar with this package so I'm not sure if it's OK to pass that to
usepackage.



-- Package-specific info:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: We will only consider bug reports concerning
the packaging of TeX Live as relevant. If you have problems with
combination of packages in a LaTeX document, please consult your
local TeX User Group, the comp.text.tex user group, the author of
the original .sty file, or any other help resource. 

In particular, bugs that are related to up-upstream, i.e., neither
Debian nor TeX Live (upstream), but the original package authors,
will be closed immediately.

   *** The Debian TeX Team is *not* a LaTeX Help Desk ***

If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries 
(latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong
output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the
error in your report.

Please run your example with
	(pdf)latex -recorder ...
(or any other program that supports -recorder) and send us the generated
file with the extension .fls, it lists all the files loaded during
the run and can easily explain problems induced by outdated files in
your home directory.

Don't forget to also include minimal examples of other files that are 
needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps
to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures!

If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of
output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem),
you can probably minimize it further. Instructions on how to do that
can be found at

http://www.minimalbeispiel.de/mini-en.html (english)

or

I'm closing the issue right now.
