This happened after the recent upgrade of the Debian packages to texlive 2018.20190227-2. Any suggestions?
Here it seems to work by the following change: \begin{document} \gappto\captionspolish{\renewcommand{\figurename}{Il.}} ---> \gappto\captionspolish{\renewcommand{\figurename}{Il.}} \begin{document} that is, writing \gappto\captionspolish{\renewcommand{\figurename}{Il.}} in the preamble. Best, Akira
