Hi Joseph, hi TeX Live, (please keep Cc)
here at Debian we got a bug report that a document stopped being compilable with 2017. I can reproduce this with a MWE on current TL2017. The MWE is: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{listings} \usepackage{graphicx} \newcommand{\foobar}[1]{\scalebox{-1}[1]{#1}} \lstset{breaklines=true,prebreak=\foobar{A}} \begin{document} \begin{lstlisting} some very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very long line \end{lstlisting} \end{document} and the error is: ! pdfTeX error (\pdfsetmatrix): Unrecognized format.. <to be read again> \endgroup \set@typeset@protect l.10 \end{document} ! ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! It seems that this was not a problem in TL2016 (tested by the submitter, but not by me). Any ideas?
