automultiplechoice.dtx fails to create sty file

Added by Hilmar Preusse over 6 years ago

Recently we updated to TL 2018 in Debian unstable. Since then the generation of the automultiplechoice.sty from automultiplechoice.dtx fails:

********************************************************
* No Configuration file found, using default settings. *
********************************************************

)

Generating file(s) ./automultiplechoice.sty 

Processing file automultiplechoice.dtx (package) -> automultiplechoice.sty
! Undefined control sequence.
\GenericError  ...

OK, entering \scrollmode...

This has worked in TL 2017 and I guess it is not a failure of TL. I tried the version from git too, but the problem was not solved. Do you have a fast idea how to solve it? Thanks!

Thanks for the report. This comes from the Japanese characters in the dtx file (see https://github.com/latex3/latex2e/issues/34).
This should be fixed with git:8a99378.

OK, I've seen that LaTeX bug, but it was simply closed and not connected to a commit. The git id I found neither in your repo nor in the LaTeX repo. Could you give a pointer? Thanks!
