Aside: It might also be a (new) incompapatibility with some other package
which would be solved by commenting out the other one...

More probabely, one updated package (embrac, one of its dependencies or some
other) now uses the LaTeX3 syntax in LaTeX2e package (expl3.sty or so)
which generates the error. Looking at the first line(s) of the LaTeX log
will show the used LaTeX version.

A minimal example would be helpfull there as well as here...
