I recently removed the old `LaTeXTidy` script from the LaTeX Bundle [1]. The “Tidy” command now uses `latexindent` [2]. `latexindent` is installed by default, but the YAML library it needs is not. You need to install PYAML for the command to work. To install the dependency:

1. Open Terminal
2. Install the `cpanm` package manager

    sudo cpan App::cpanminus

3. Install `YAML::Tiny` with cpanm

    sudo cpanm YAML::Tiny

If you did not update MacTeX recently, then you now get the error message:

YAML::Tiny found a duplicate key 'pmatrix'…

This is the result of a duplicate key in `/usr/local/texlive/2014/texmf-dist/scripts/latexindent/defaultSettings.yaml`.

Open the file with TextMate, for example by issuing the following command inside Terminal:

    mate /usr/local/texlive/2014/texmf-dist/scripts/latexindent/defaultSettings.yaml

Now search for `pmatrix` and remove one of the two occurrences. You can also update your TeX Distribution to fix the bug, for example by using “TeX Live Utility” [3]. I would recommend against that however, since I broke my TeX distribution that way once. For more information on the `latexindent` bug you can take a look at a bug report at StackExchange [4].

Sorry that I broke your workflow. I will try to come up with a solution that auto-installs the dependency.

> Further, I also suddenly received the error "Command returned status code 1." for Typeset and view (PDF) when I compiled a latex file. The file uses the mtpro2 fonts, which, when disabled, allowed the file to compile again, but this is the first time this has happened. I did compile the file with the fonts enabled earlier today.

A tex file with the following content:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[lite]{mtpro2}
\begin{document}
$1 + 1 = 2$
\end{document}

works for me. Could you please provide a (minimal) example, so that I can try to debug the problem?

Sorry again for breaking the bundle commands. If you have further questions please just ask. I am always happy about feedback.
