Tikzpeople callout breaks with the newest update of miktex

tikz add tag

Raaja

Please see the MWE. This used to work until I updated my miktex today:

	%&lualatex
	% !TeX TXS-program:compile = txs:///lualatex/[--shell-escape]
	\documentclass[convert={density=300,outext=.png}]{standalone}
	\usepackage{tikz}
	\usepackage{tikzpeople}
	\usetikzlibrary{positioning,patterns}
	\begin{document}
	\begin{tikzpicture}
	\node[surgeon,minimum size=1.5cm, name = man]   {};
	\node[ellipse callout, draw,
	callout absolute pointer={(man.mouth)] (pointer) {Let's measure};
	\end{tikzpicture}
	\end{document}
    
My current version is:

>This is LuaHBTeX, Version 1.12.0 (MiKTeX 2.9.7380 64-bit)  (format=lualatex 2020.4.17)  17 APR 2020 11:43

Could someone give me suggestions on how I can overcome this. Seems the manual in `ctan` is not up-to-date.

There are two tiny mistakes:

- a missing `}` to close `callout absolute pointer={(man.mouth)`

- the `shapes.callouts` library is missing


```
\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{tikzpeople}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning,patterns,shapes.callouts}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\node[surgeon,minimum size=1.5cm, name = man]   {};
\node[ellipse callout, draw, callout absolute pointer={(man.mouth)}] (pointer) {Let's measure};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
```

@samcarter yes it is an example I created from the documentation ;) well initially, I called them in as `shapes` but it failed after I updated. And the braces, most likely went into black hole when cut-copy-posting :D

The biggest error I see in the code is the missing duck ``` \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{tikzducks} \usetikzlibrary{positioning,patterns,shapes.callouts} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \duck \node[ellipse callout, draw, callout absolute pointer={(bill)}] (pointer) {Let's measure}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} ``` :)

``` \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{tikzpeople} \usetikzlibrary{positioning,patterns,shapes.callouts} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \node[surgeon,minimum size=1.5cm, name = man] {}; \node[ellipse callout, draw, callout absolute pointer={(man.mouth)}] (pointer) {Let's measure}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} ```
