index package

[David Carlisle]

there's not much that can be done at tex-live, if you provide a test case
to the l3 repository github we could check if any change is intentional

I notice

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{index}

\begin{document}

a
\end{document}

produces a warning

LaTeX Warning: Command \markboth  has changed.
               Check if current package is valid.


LaTeX Warning: Command \markright  has changed.
               Check if current package is valid.

which is due to some internal changes in the mark commands meaning a patch
doesn't match but that's unrelated to the l3 backend
what error are you seeing?
