I am also getting old :-( Now I remember: I am to blame for this problem. The original patch from Ugras used the old interface, but when I discovered that TeXLive has the new package I changed it. The rationale was that glossaries are a new feature, and that people who want to use this new feature can be expected to get a current version. What I did not think about was that it would not be easy to find out why the old package did not work. > Using a package with such unstable interface is a pain (and an error > IMO). Well, the interface change was not done without a reason: The old interface conflicted with some other package. I don't think that it was an error to use it, since there is a compatibility switch, and apart from the name change the package has been stable for years. What are we going to do now? Switching back to the old interface with the help of the compatibility switch is trivial, but of course this adds the compatibility problems with .glo files, and it needs to be reverted some day. Supporting both interfaces would also be possible, but I'd rather avoid that. Georg
