\xdef\@fontenc@load@list{\@fontenc@load@list undefined control sequence in Rmarkdown

问题

I've tried to write a very simple Rmarkdown file to render as pdf, but got an error for an undefined control sequence.

The file:

---
title: "Untitled"
author: "author"
date: "3/2/2020"
output: pdf_document
---

# whatever
fskjflsjflkj

saved as test.Rmd and knit (with the button) produces the following output in the R markdown console:

processing file: test.Rmd
output file: test.knit.md

! Undefined control sequence.
l.115 \xdef\@fontenc@load@list{\@fontenc@load@list

Error: LaTeX failed to compile test.tex. See https://yihui.org/tinytex/r/#debugging for debugging tips. See test.log for more info.
Execution halted

The following is the relevant test.log part:

It doesn't matter if I try to compile it with pdflatex, lualatex or xelatex the error is the same.

I'm working on an Ubuntu 18.04 machine with everything updated and upgraded (apt-get update && apt-get upgrade as root) and after running tlmgr update --self --all.

How can I get Rmarkdown to knit to pdf again?

回答1:

Try to use

fmtutil-sys --all

to rebuilt the format files using those new sources (updated with tlmgr).
