Post by Joseph WrightPost by Denis BitouzéPost by Vladimir LomovSeems that parsing of '\ProvidesPackage' and related commands was
changed. I made small example that shows the problem (I made several
small packages and they have '\ProvidesPackage' similar to one in
example). I attached example file and example style.
I'll raise with the team: the issue is that space between "[" and the start of
the date, which has never been documented as supported that I know of.
Is there a workaround or restoring the latex package to rev. 43813 is
currently the only way to fix this problem?
As I've said, I think the underlying problem is that a space had never
really be officially supported between "[" and the start of the date
information. So 'fix the .sty file' is quite workable.
Sorry to not have read this thread more carefully. In fact, I sent this
message because, since the this morning TL 2018's update, I'm facing the
same error message as Vladimir:

but even without spurious spaces, for instance with the following MCE:

Post by Joseph WrightThat said, we'll almost certainly adjust here to deal with the problem (it comes
about from some defensive code that's been added to avoid a separate
issue!). For me
\makeatletter
\else
\fi}
}
\makeatother
depending on views from the rest of the team this might go in today.
This fails:
