Now building the document fails because it does not find 'ifxetex.sty'. Bu if I do not want XeTeX? I have moved ifxetex to collection-latexrecommended from collection-xetex. We had a theory about why it was ok to be in collection-xetex, but evidently the theory was wrong. (ifpdf is also in latexrecommended, being part of oberdiek.) Thanks, k
