I don't see anything here that loads  color.sty .

Try adding  \usepackage{color}
to the preamble of your test document.
Hopefully that will bypass the problem.

No, you haven't done anything stupid.

It looks to me like something is using color
without having ensured that color is loaded.

It could be that something needs to be changed
in  html.sty  to adapt to whatever is forcing
this use of (or checking for) color, perhaps due
to recent changes in some of the other packages.


Please let me know if loading the color package
has any effect.


Hmm; now I see a different problem.
  teTeX 3.0  now uses  pdfeTeX  as the typesetting engine,
rather than the older traditional LaTeX.

Hyperref is being loaded above with the  'hdvips'  driver.
This is wrong. It should now be the  hpdftex  driver.

Your  hyperref.cfg  file should detect this.

and load the correct driver.

Can you show me the contents of this file please.


Best regards,
