Description

Hi,

I bumped into this issue: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/469005/pstricks-newly-introduced-error-in-package

Per the suggestion, I commented

\def\ProvidesPackageRCS{\@ifnextchar[\ProvidesPackageRCS@i{\ProvidesPackageRCS@i[] }}%$

and replaced it with

\def\ProvidesPackageRCS#1{}

in the file macports_directory/share/texmf-texlive/generic/pstricks/pstricks.tex

This indeed worked for my installation. Then I went to ctan to see the contents of that file in the pstricks package (https://ctan.org/pkg/pstricks-base?lang=en) and indeed the file is different. Now, in the critical lines (around line 70), it reads:

\def\ProvidesPackageRCS#1{\typeout{Loading #1}}%
%\@ifnextchar[\ProvidesPackageRCS@i{\ProvidesPackageRCS@i[] }}%$
%\def\ProvidesPackageRCS@i[#1]#2{}

Just wanted to let you know because it appears that the package needs an update. I am attaching a tex file that replicates the initial issue. Interestingly, while the error is thrown during the compilation using the latex command and compilation is paused, nevertheless, pressing enter to bypass the issue and then using dvipdf corrects a pdf file with the image as expected.

This has been updated by now (and, based on the stackexchange thread, it may have been an issue with pgf, which is now replaced with texlive also)
