I don't remember the details, but I think I was able to fix it on the command line. Then there are two commands: miktex packages update-package-database miktex packages update Afterwards you can refresh the filename database: miktex fndb refresh The above commands are meant for a user installation of MiKTeX. If you have a system wide installation you should use miktex --admin ... Remark: older releases of MiKTeX don't know the command 'miktex'. There was something similar called 'mpm', but I don't know the detailed commands. Holger
