Folks,
I've updated my LaTeX distribution today (2019-12-17), which broke the dependencies from beamer: missing "atbegshi.sty". I found this one and reinstalled it manually through TeX Live Utility. But "atbegshi.sty" requires the packages "infwarerr" and "ltxcmds". The first one, I also could install manually, but the later "ltxcmds" seems to have disappeared. Where can I get help?!?
Thanks & cheers

update LaTeX broke package dependencies required by beamer
Hello,
welcome to the forum! Thanks for letting us know that the problem is solved.
Also for our readers here in the forum: the oberdiek bundle is a set of many packages. Originally it contained really a lot of packages, that requires much effort in maintaining, so if one package has been changes the whole bundle needs to be updated as well. So, recently, packages have been separated from the bundle and are maintained standalone.
That's why LaTeX distribution update may now require installing some additional packages. If the compiler says it's missing, just install it. You may install the old (backup) oberdiek bundle again or just install the missing packages via the package manager.
