"fix the list of acronyms" causes error

[Former user]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. download files from CTAN-Repo
2. Compile


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Sample Document of the Classic Thesis should be compiled without any errors. Instead
the following Error is displayed
"! LaTeX Error: \bflabel undefined.See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.Type
H <return> for immediate help.... \renewcommand{\bflabel}"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Classic Thesis v. 4.1
MikTeX 32bit (all updates installed) on Windows 7 Pro

Please provide any additional information below.
The Problem is caused by Line 102 in the config.tex: \renewcommand{\bflabel}[1]{{#1}\hfill}
% fix the list of acronyms
The error can be fixed by deleting this line. The error is quite new and might be related
to a package update.

Yeah, there seems to be no mention of \bflabel in acronym package now. They switched
to an internal command \AC@makelabel, breaking the backward compatibility. That one
is governed by \acsfont and \aclabelfont. Unfortunatelly, classicthesis will have to
cover both the old and the new way. André?

I encountered the same problem today and I have no idea about how to overcome it. Does
anyone have any ideas of how I can continue writing my thesis please?

Lorenzo, you can safely remove the line
\renewcommand{\bflabel}[1]{{#1}\hfill} % fix the list of acronyms
from classicthesis-config.tex

I replicated exactly the same as Dominik (24Oct2014) after updating to LYX V2.1.2 (that
pulled in the latest MikTeX updates)  except it is Win 7 Pro and the file was classicthesis-config.tex.
THANKS FOR THE FIX.

My symbols nomenclature also gave multiple "Undefined control sequence" error messages
because they contained \nicefrac in mathematical equations. My solution was to include
\usepackage{units} in the Latex Preamble! Not sure why it is now required, and is separate
from the posted problem, but others may encounter it at the same time, as I did. It
is NOT a classicthesis class fault.

can someone please update on how exactly to get rid of this bflabel error from lyx?
Why is it so difficult to work with classicthesis? There is error after error after
error. Unknown float, bflabel error etc etc. I am just using LyX and have no proficiency
in Latex or Tex. How can this be fixed.

You can fix your lack of proficiency, as we all did, by using LaTeX and TeX using and
fixing problems like this.
As for the bug, it's an undocumented feature change in another package. It can be fixed,
for now, by opening classicthesis-config.tex and removing one single line, as described
above. If you encounter any other issues along the way, please report here and we'll
try to help. Private mails accepted as well.

I did delete the line. It was working for a while. Then Lyx started saying "cannot save
file, failed to produce back up file" etc. And then when I copied the files and opened
it in another PC this bflablel error has come back. The config.tex does not have that
line anymore, yet the error pops up.

It sounds like file location problems or you had the file open-locked with another editor.
Check that LyX-LaTex is finding the classicthesis-config.tex file you have deleted
the line in (rename it an try again). Sounds basic, but with 'LaTeX' files everywhere
it is easy to grab the wrong one. As a non-LaTeX user myself, I have found you need
to know a lot more about what is behind the code than the LyX GUI interface leads you
to think. The experience can be disconcerting for Word users until you get it, so my
sympathies and good luck. It does work as explained above (on my system as stated above
at least).
