Pretty sure this was due to how this code was stored in GitHub (it did not have accurate values for date or version in the .sty file). A fixed build is running in both f36 and rawhide. FEDORA-2022-b8ed0655d1 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 36. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2022-b8ed0655d1 FEDORA-2022-b8ed0655d1 has been pushed to the Fedora 36 testing repository. Soon you'll be able to install the update with the following command: `sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --advisory=FEDORA-2022-b8ed0655d1` You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2022-b8ed0655d1 See also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for more information on how to test updates. FEDORA-2022-b8ed0655d1 has been pushed to the Fedora 36 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report. |

Missing = inserted for \ifnum. <to be read again> D l.3 \addbibresource {a.bib} When I comment out biblatex-related commands, the error disappears when I remove \usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex} line. This error happens in F37, where is texlive-biblatex-svn57272.v317-54.fc37.noarch, it does not happen in F35 and F36 with texlive-biblatex-svn57272-48.fc36.noarch. This is the difference in rpms/texlive dist-git repository: 4c58f2c50e19b19067852787a6e7b79f0795b494 (HEAD -> f36, origin/rawhide, origin/f36, origin/HEAD, rawhide) An empty release bump b82f125fd6244e10849e7a7e05a9c1307f3ba595 (origin/main) bump 437a95d37c098c5d5a1edd9076e3667c9b71beb6 correct bcfversion dependency 37fb8c6e3ec8750765126e77446027dfcc590ef9 update biblatex to 3.17 (bz2048536) 931b3c0ab5e840d872bcbab605cbc3ff84fd42e3 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_36_Mass_Rebuild 82a5a143248b71a1105881a5d9c721a67e2a00a4 (origin/f35) fix french language hyphenation options edf172d2e376959d30d72bd8e833684631b1bb5a add Requires: texlive-newtx to texlive-newtxsf (bz2027444) It looks like a bug in biblatex-3.17, or in the "fix french language hyphenation options" fix. However, I cannot see any similar report at <https://github.com/plk/biblatex/issues>.
