Re: Problem with last miktex update

The new siunitx fails in a minimal latex document:

%-----------

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{siunitx}

\begin{document}

text

\end{document}

%-----------

The message is more helpful:

! Package siunitx Error: Support package expl3 too old..

See the siunitx package documentation for explanation.


Why does Beamer not provide the same message?
