I have downloaded the fantastic template for doctoral thesis available in

I have used it before I had already adapted the contents for my thesis. However, when I tried to compile it with MiKTeX after the last update I got this prob...

@egreg That's what I would think too. I'm going to add one about code fragments that I've been using. It's a bit less wordy than the one that's there, and I think it helps focus people on making a MWE without pointing them to a huge meta link about them.
I'm trying to figure out a way to change the tocdepth before the first section but only for that section, so I need to reinstate it after the section, ideally without a user-level command. I'm using memoir which has a complicated \section command with two optional args.
Conceptually I want \settocdepth{chapter}\section[][]{}\settocdepth{subsubsection}, so that the user just writes \section as normal. Any ideas? If section were an environment this would be easy...
Figured it out. memoir conveniently has hooks at each level. Nice.
@PauloCereda So they say. But I'm not convinced if the German is structured like the English. It's never been a problem with the quality of the English itself.
@PauloCereda I remember the first time I flagged something in chat, simply because I wanted to delete one of my own posts, and I didn't realize that flagging in chat is the nuclear option. Suddenly the room filled up with mods from all over the SE network. Oops.
@AlanMunn Indeed! Bruno Le Floch once tried that "just for fun" and we got almost eleven lectures on how one should not do that. They even threatened suspending Bruno for 45 minutes.
@CarLaTeX Because every 10k+ user in every chat room in the SE universe gets notified, specially if you are a mod, and can go directly to the source of request.
@CarLaTeX I think that because chat is real time, any kind of abusive or offensive behaviour is squelched as soon as possible, so all available people are notified.
@AlanMunn Yes, I am sure. I got notifications once in a while, it's similar to the round thingy you get for mentions, but blue. And when you go the chat room, the offended message has a blue tick near it.
@PauloCereda I guess I never pay attention. Does it only show up on the main SE page where all the chat rooms are? (i.e., can it be seen from within here?)
@AlanMunn It's a pity that reading the Commedia is inflicted to students in the wrong way: do long paraphrases and learn tons of details instead of concentrating on the greater heights in it that often show pure poetry. A worse fate is for “I promessi sposi”, that students have (had, perhaps) to read in tenth grade: they come to hate it, notwithstanding it's a great piece of literature.
@egreg Yes, I think this is unfortunately true in all countries approach to teaching literature, especially in high school. Unless you have a remarkable teacher it's very easy to end up hating things.
@egreg And poetry suffers an even worse fate than prose, usually.
@egreg It happened to me to re-read this: it.m.wikisource.org/wiki/Rime_(Dante)/… some years after high school and I thought "but it's so beautiful, why I hated it at school?"
@CarLaTeX Since our resident duck seems to have swum off, I'll explain. I was responding to @PauloCereda 's "Niet". The line is from a song called Da da da. :)
