Here is the bug filed with MiKTeX, for ease of reference:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3114850&group_id=10783&atid=110783 As I understand, there are two problems with MiKTeX: 1. There is no "fragments" package that includes the various fragments available, including "subscript.sty", in either MiKTeX 2.8 or 2.9 (or before). 2. The "fixltx2e" package has gone missing in MiKTeX 2.9. Uwe's bug with MiKTeX seems to have been targeted at problem 1. However the MiKTeX developers have realised that fixltx2e provides a textsubscript command and decided to change the bug to 2. I have added a comment to explain that this is not good enough for us. In the meantime, it would be useful if this was detected at/before LaTeX compilation and users given a slightly more helpful error message e.g. redirected to a wiki page. Otherwise they will probably go looking for a subscript package, as I did, and end up getting lost. I doubt too many people use text subscripts, but it could certainly be a source of confusion.
