Since an update of my Texlive distribution I have some issues with a class file I wrote for my students.

This document explains how to use the class file \texttt{cmpreport.cls} to write your reports.
The class file has been designed to simplify your life; many things are done for you. As a consequence

of commonly known \LaTeX\ commands.

This section is used to acknowledge whoever's support and contribution.
The command that introduces it is ignored in the project proposal, literature review and progress report. It is used in the

have an acknowledgements command in your preamble then there
won't be any acknowledgement section in the document produced. \emph{Abstract} and \emph{Acknowledgements} sections should fit on the same page.

\begin{document}
\section{Introduction}
Before reading this document you should go through the \LaTeX\ tutorials that have been provided for you to learn the
basics of \LaTeX\ such as sectioning, style, lists, referencing, bibliography and mathematics if applicable.
Even if you already know \LaTeX{}, please at least go through \emph{Tutorial 6: Bibliography and citations
in \LaTeXe{}} and \emph{Tutorial 5: Producing
professional-looking tables}.
The basic structure of your reports is introduced in section~\ref{sec1} with the \LaTeX{} commands used to implement it\footnote{The beginning of your reports, usually the \emph{Introduction} section, should tell the reader about the organisation of the report.}. Section~\ref{sec2} shows how to create figures and gives examples of tables produced with the \verb/cmpreport/ class. Section~\ref{secGantt} shows how you can produce a Gantt chart with \LaTeXe{}.
\section{The structure of the document} \label{sec1}
As any other \LaTeX{} documents, your report starts by declaring the style of your document. For your final report this is done by issuing the command
\texttt{\textbackslash{}documentclass\allowbreak [final]\{cmpreport\}}
which means that your report follows the style specified for the \texttt{final} report in the file \texttt{cmpreport.cls}. Your bibliography file (\verb/bib/ file) and any pictures you use in your figures
should be placed in the same directory as your report. The option \texttt{final}, between the square brackets, must be replaced with \texttt{proposal}, \texttt{review} or \texttt{progress} for the corresponding pieces of assessment.
There is another option \texttt{tutorial} that you will have used if you went through some of my tutorials. However,
this is of no concern when using the class for your reports.
The main differences between the options of interest are:
\begin{itemize}
\item The options \texttt{proposal} and \texttt{review} produce a simple title page and add a ``performance sheet''\footnote{This is not a mark sheet, as this corresponds to a formative piece of coursework. However, your supervisor may indicate a level of performance for each of the criteria in the performance sheet.} at the end of the document that indicates the evaluation criteria
for the corresponding piece of work and provides a comment box for your supervisor.
\item The option \texttt{progress} produces a mark sheet at the beginning of the document.
\item The option \texttt{final} provides a ``more official'' title page\footnote{You may want to show your report to a future employer.}. It creates a table of contents, and possibly a list of tables and a list of figures (see below).
\end{itemize}
\end{document}
If I process I get the error message:
Undefined control sequence. …{\numberline {1}Introduction}{4}{section.1}
If I comment out the line
\RequirePackage{hyperref}
I don't get an error, but obviously I cannot use links in table of contents and the \url command. How can I fix the problem?
Best Answer
You are adding typesetting material to \Atbegindocument. That is wrong, this hook is not meant for it. In a current LaTeX you can use the begindocument/end hook instead, e.g.
With older LaTeX you can use the etoolbox hook
\AfterEndPreamble.
