I requested the wrong release of LaTeX

Post by Singularity »

Recently I have been getting the following error
LaTeX Warning: You have requested release `2014/05/01' of LaTeX,
but only release `2011/06/27' is available.
I think it has something to do with package lastpage. How can I get rid of it?

Here's the smallest MWE I could make.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[14pt,fleqn]{extarticle}
\usepackage{lastpage}

% For PDF clickable links - LOAD THIS PACKAGE LAST (note: hidelinks does not work)
\usepackage[pdfstartview=FitH,breaklinks,pageanchor,plainpages,backref=section,hyperindex,bookmarksnumbered,
%pdfstartpage=7,
bookmarksopen,bookmarksopenlevel=1]{hyperref}
\hypersetup{pdfpagemode=UseNone}

                                 
\begin{document}

\end{document}

The reason and solution is quite simple: LaTeX is developed acticely, the base kernel as well as contribution packages. Package lastpage requires a newer version of the kernel than is available. Updating our complete TeX environment will get rid of the message.

Beware: Changing such basic stuff can change the output to unexpected results. Over the last years, even the TeX core (underneath LaTeX) has been updated by Knuth.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

I use MikTex and had to run the Update (Admin) process twice, but it worked.
