Ever since the last latex update, none of my files will run anymore. This is the error that I get:
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> ...{text-ohm=\textohm }}}\tl_if_eq:nVT

Is anyone else experiencing this?

I confess with LaTeX I bypass pacman and install directly from TUG/CTAN. But a good first troubleshooting step would be to see if you get the problem even with a minimal "Hello World" type document:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Hello world!
\end{document}
If you do, that's a serious problem. If you don't, well, then you need to try to create a minimal working example that does create the problem, either by adding to a minimal document like that to make it more like your old files, adding more and more until the problem appears, or by working in the other direction by removing parts piece by piece from an old document until the problem disappears. Perhaps that would help pinpoint the cause of the problem.
That particular error looks like it might be part of the siunitx package, so you might start by checking whether or not it creates the problems. I know it has gone through some changes recently, and I wonder if you might have a version of it that is incompatible with the versions of certain other packages.

sorry for the threadjacking, but how do you do it? LaTex never really worked for me in Arch, so I'm interested. I'm reading this TUG page, do you install it as a normal user?
Offline
That's the page. Install as root.

@frabjous-- I took your suggestion, and was able to narrow it down to the siunitx package. As a solution for now, I will just not use the package. Thanks for the help.
I'm marking this thread as solved.

I'm glad that helped. If you do have a need for that package, you might want to ask at the LaTeX Community forums at at the TeX, LaTeX and friends SE site. Joseph Wright, who wrote the siunitx package, frequents both.

Hi there.
My thesis is not working right now due to this error,
and I cant figure it out. I need the SIunitsx package.
Any ideaas?
Offline
Process some minimal LaTeX document which calls siunitx, adding \listfiles to the beginning of the code (even before \documentclass{...}), and post both it and the *List of Files* part of the resulting .log file here. I'll compare it to the log file I'm getting with my fully updated system, and that way maybe we can track down the package incompatibility.
(Either that, or switch from Arch's TeXlive packages to installing directly from TUG/CTAN, so you get tlmgr and can update properly.)

I just happened to notice that this error occurs only when both the textcomp and siunitx package are used. Anyway, I don't mean to intrude, but:

***********
The important difference is probably that I'm using a newer version of siunitx (CTAN link). I would try installing the new version locally using the instructions for installing packages manually given in this thread, and see if you can get it working.
Offline
The latest pacman version has siunitx v2.1b, and everything works normally now.
Offline
Its working now! Sorry it took me so long to answer.
Thank you very much!

For the record,
I tried this file:
\documentclass[letterpaper, 12pt, titlepage, onecolumn]{report}
\usepackage[spanish]{babel}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\begin{document}
\num{1+-2i}
%\SI{50}{\micro\metre}
\end{document}
And \num would work, but \SI wouldnt.
