We are having the same issue as described above with the PGML.pl macro and PGML code like [![$alttext]!]{$graph1}{400} that is found in the Valdosta APEX_Calculus files in the OPL. But we ARE on version 2.18 of WebWork. I just tried running OPL-update and it shows
Downloading the latest OPL release.
Found OPL METADATA release v2024-08-14.
Downloaded release archive, now extracting.
Restoring OPL tables from release database dump.
OPL path seems to be /opt/webwork/libraries/webwork-open-problem-library/
Removing temporary files.
Done!
Using WeBWorK root: /opt/webwork/webwork2
Using library root: /opt/webwork/libraries/webwork-open-problem-library/OpenProblemLibrary
Using contrib root: /opt/webwork/libraries/webwork-open-problem-library/Contrib
Saved OPL set definition list to /opt/webwork/webwork2/htdocs/DATA/library-set-defs.json.
Saved Contrib set definition list to /opt/webwork/webwork2/htdocs/DATA/contrib-set-defs.json.
I have checked that the content of the local OPL pg files having issues is the same as that for the github version of the OPL. They are using PGtikz.pl to draw the graphs, but we still getting the same warning messages as shown in the original message.
Here is one example of a problem that is failing.
