[XeTeX] bidi-problem

[Johann Spies]

I am working on a document in which I keep notes of my readings. It is a
long standing document on which I have been working for the past 20
years.

Some recent update caused this problem:

 
 Location on CTAN: /macros/xetex/latex/bidi

* Issue tracker: https://github.com/vafa/bidi/issues

(/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/xelatex/bidi/latex-xetex-bidi.def

! LaTeX Error: Command \XeTeX already defined.
               Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.


I have removed all the includes and some other stuff to be able to show
the file to you.

When I remove the useage of the bidi package, the compilation ends with:
--------------------------------
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/tipa/t3cmr.fd)
! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again> 
                   \protect 
l.104 \begin{document}
-------------------------

Last time (a few weeks ago) it compiled the more than 500 pages without
a problem.

I need the bidi package because the document include some Hebrew texts
also.

What is going on here?

Is there a new problem with /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/tipa/t3cmr.fd
also?

``Alleen 'n teologie wat uit die openbaring\index{openbaring} vertrek,
kan bevrydend wees.  Elke vorm van subjektivisme\index{subjektivisme}
voer terug na 'n vorm van bedompigheid, omdat dit die mens werp op
homself en sy eie ervaring, in plaas daarvan dat dit hom op Christus
werp'' \cite[167,168]{jonker_gees_1981}.
