Thanks Marcel, I did a full update at 0807 this morning, but I have also
done your suggestion of `fmtutil-sys --byfmt latex`.

The thing that has been pointed out to me by Peter Flynn on the comp.tex
newsgroup is using part of the solution from [1], and although I'm using
Debian 10 it works, much to my surprise! And the workaround is placing
this in your preamble --

---------------
\makeatletter
\def\set at curr@file#1{%
  \begingroup
    \escapechar\m at ne
    \xdef\@curr at file{\expandafter\string\csname #1\endcsname}%
  \endgroup
}
\def\quote at name#1{"\quote@@name#1\@gobble""}
\def\quote@@name#1"{#1\quote@@name}
\def\unquote at name#1{\quote@@name#1\@gobble"}
\makeatother
\usepackage{graphics}
---------------

Thanks
Sharon.
