Is this a new report?

Yes

System Info

Void 6.6.22_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rrFF

Package(s) Affected

bbiber-2.16_3, texlive-bibtexextra-2023.66579_1, texlive-20230313_1

Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?

Upstream not affected

Expected behaviour

Compiling a latex file in which biblatex is used to cite should work.

Actual behaviour

biber returns an error:

ERROR - Error: Found biblatex control file version 3.10, expected version 3.7.
This means that your biber (2.16) and biblatex (3.19) versions are incompatible.

As can be seen here: https://texdoc.org/serve/biber.pdf/0 2.19 is the correct biber version for biblatex version 3.19

Steps to reproduce

  1. Write a small latex file where biblatex is used to cite something.
  2. Try to compile it (for example using latexmk).

There is a stale pull request (#46424) to update biber, but it has not been merged.

Could you provide a sample LaTeX file (and additional files if necessary) which triggers this error?

Could you provide a sample LaTeX file (and additional files if necessary) which triggers this error?

More complete reproduction:

  1. Create empty file test.bib
  2. Create file test.tex in the same folder containing
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{biblatex}
\addbibresource{test.bib}

\begin{document}

\end{document}
  1. Run the following commands in the folder:
$ pdflatex test.tex
$ biber test

The second command will generate the following output:

INFO - This is Biber 2.16
INFO - Logfile is 'test.blg'
INFO - Reading 'test.bcf'
ERROR - Error: Found biblatex control file version 3.10, expected version 3.7.
This means that your biber (2.16) and biblatex (3.19) versions are incompatible.
See compat matrix in biblatex or biber PDF documentation.
INFO - ERRORS: 1

I'm having the same issue. I imagine the aforementioned PR would work but it failed the i686 build: I'll test it this week if I can.

EDIT: Thanks @dkwo <3
