Hi Ricardo,

this problem is biting me too now.

This workaround only works fine for scrlttr2, but unfortunately not for
scrbook, scrartcl, … Any idea?

Cheers,
Lars

pdflatex.fmt is a gzipped file.  Unzipping it we see differences in the
file from the working monolithic texlive package and the
texlive-latex-base package.  The former retains references to babel
files while the one from texlive-latex-base does not.

It is in fact sufficient to add only this line

   \def\languagename{english}

The only problem is that languagename is undefined.

This was wrong, but I can=E2=80=99t blame myself: the LaTeX errors are
incredibly useless and misleading.

I added \setcounter{errorcontextlines}{999} to the document to see some
context, but it served little more than to confuse me.  (It didn=E2=80=99t =
print
999 context lines but only 4 lines with elisions.)  It did however
indicate that the error might be related to languages.

So I changed the document to this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass[a4paper]{scrlttr2}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

% This line is new.  Set the language!
\usepackage[british]{babel}
%\setcounter{errorcontextlines}{999}

\title{A very simple document}
\author{Oliver Klee}
\date{\today\ (a very good day)}

\begin{document}

This is an example of how to create line breaks and paragraphs:

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,\\
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,\\
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,\\
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

\end{document}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It worked.

I don=E2=80=99t know why the monolithic TeX Live package doesn=E2=80=99t ha=
ve this
problem, but at least we=E2=80=99ve got a workaround now: load babel and se=
t a
default language.

I=E2=80=99ll also add that the texlive-latex-koma-script package in Guix is=
 not
up to our standards.  It=E2=80=99s not built from source (=3D not generated=
 from
dtx/ins files) and it doesn=E2=80=99t include all files such as documentati=
on
and source files.  We should fix that too.

I can reproduce this with xelatex, lualatex, and pdflatex.  This does
not happen with the monolithic texlive package.

Interestingly, the files that are directly involved are all the same.
All the koma-script files are identical to their counterparts in the
monolithic texlive.

The monolithic texlive prints this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(/gnu/store/pllzpxmvcldqq89x6w36w77xnr1p4lav-texlive-texmf-20210325/share/t=

Output written on komatest.pdf (1 page, 15553 bytes).
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

My guess: the argument is the absolute file name of pdftex.map.  It
doesn=E2=80=99t belong to any real package in the tlpdb, and I=E2=80=99m pr=
etty sure we
generate it.  However, in this case it must be missing, so that there is
no argument to \strip@prefix.

I've just committed texlive-latex-koma-script which only works partly,
but I can't figure out the root of the issue.

This linked example works:

	https://github.com/oliverklee/latex-examples/tree/master/simple-article-ko=
ma-script

The following fails:

I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce
this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that
I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway
argument that might be the root of the problem. But if
your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.

I can't install the full Texlive distribution as I don't have enough
space.

Ricardo, if you can, could you try this out and see if it works with the
full Texlive?
