Description Daniel 2018-12-16 17:49:48 UTC
Description of problem: I try to compile a latex file which perfectly worked in F28 until the latest upfate. Now in a fresh F29 installation there are numerous errors and the file can't be compiled. The warnings start with the texlive-koma-script package:

(/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/koma-script/scrbook.cls

               But this is in conflict with a rollback request to 2014/12/31.

(scrbook)              Note, that this option was already depreacted when
(scrbook)              it has been defined. Support for old font commands
(scrbook)              has been removed from KOMA-Script more than one
(scrbook)              decade ago. It is not recommended to use them any
(scrbook)              longer. Therefore usage of this class option also
(scrbook)              is not recommended.

It continues the same way, and there are numerous such warnings on other packages as well.

The whole compilation process crashes with:

! LaTeX Error: Suspicious rollback date given.

Comment 1 Tom "spot" Callaway 2018-12-17 14:36:01 UTC
Can you provide an example file which reproduces this?

Comment 2 Daniel 2018-12-17 22:02:45 UTC
Sorry, this is no bug at all. There is some old (and rotten) stuff in a lengthy style file that accumulates all these warnings & errors.
