I have a problem with hyperref, longtable, appendix and babel (spanish) all together. TeX does not compile, with the following error:
! Argument of @let@token has an extra }.

An example code to reproduce the error:

Remarks:
-
Removing
hyperrefsolves the problem (but also removes hyperlinks, of course). -
Using
chapter*{Longtable example}instead ofchapter{Longtable example}also compiles with no errors. -
Changing
babeltoenglishalso works. -
The most curious thing: it was working before I updated my machine! Now, I installed latest version, i.e MiKTeX 2.9 (previously, I had v2.8) and updated all packages and the problem appeared.
I would appreciate any solution, I think this is a new error because of two things: firstly, I couldn’t find anything similar in Google and secondly, it was working with previous versions of the packages and/or MiKTeX.
Extra info: OS Windows 7 x64bits, MiKTeX 2.9, all packages are updated to the latest versions. Let me know if you need more information.
