Could the maintainers of texlive help please? I'm trying to use the package mdframed, but it loads xparse and this seems broken. The error shows up after loading l3file.sty or l3num.sty, but seems to trace back to xparse.sty as far as I can tell, but the root cause may go deeper.
The bug is similar to the one reported here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=568321
I haven't found a fix for this, and anything i did would be a total kludge.
Also, mdframed was not in the ubuntu repos, so had to be installed manually from CTAN source. So I suspect this package, or it's RequiredPackages, is incompatible with the older version of texlive distributed with ubuntu. I am currently testing a fresh install of texlive from TUG to see if this will resolve the errors I am encountering. If it doesn't then I guess it isn't a ubuntu package maintenance issue but something bad with texlive that hasn't been reported or fixed correctly.
The only other similar info I can provide is this report here:
