breakatwhitespace undefined

Question

I try to use several latex template (Metropolis beamer theme, etc.) but I got the following error:

! Package keyval Error: breakatwhitespace undefined.

I think this error not from the package but from my latex. I've installed latex in my Ubuntu 16.04 using sudo apt-get install texlive-full

How to solve this error? Hope somebody here can help.

UPDATE

I got this error several times, it always involve theme / template. The newest happen when I try to compile Metropolis Beamer Theme. At this time, I even didn't write any code, I just follow the installation tutorial, and get error after trying to install using make install. Usually I just try to find in the templates/theme where is the breakatwhitspace and delete it.

breakatwhitespace I think included when using package listings and the theme/template author use lstset :

\usepackage{listings}
\lstset{
    ...
    breakatwhitespace=false,
    ...
}

the code below give the error (I copy paste the \usepackage{listings} and \lstset from Metropolis beamer template):

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{listings}
\lstset{
    language=[LaTeX]{TeX},
    basicstyle=\ttfamily,
    keywordstyle=\color{mLightBrown}\bfseries,
    commentstyle=\color{mLightGreen},
    stringstyle=\color{mLightGreen},
    backgroundcolor=\color{mBackground},
    numbers=none,
    numberstyle=\tiny\ttfamily,
    stepnumber=2,
    showspaces=false,
    showstringspaces=false,
    showtabs=false,
    frame=none,
    framerule=1pt,
    tabsize=2,
    rulesep=5em,
    captionpos=b,
    breaklines=true,
    breakatwhitespace=false,
    framexleftmargin=0em,
    framexrightmargin=0em,
    xleftmargin=0em,
    xrightmargin=0em,
    aboveskip=1em,
    belowskip=1em,
    morekeywords={usetheme,institute,maketitle,@metropolis@titleformat,%
                  plain,setbeamercolor,metroset,setsansfont,setmonofont},
  }

\begin{document}
    \frame{\titlepage}  
\end{document}

UPDATE 2

The first few lines logs show my system version:

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.16 (TeX Live 2015/Debian) (preloaded format=pdflatex)
 restricted \write18 enabled
...

but the code above , give me error here, breakatwhitespace undefined — malioboro, Sep 09 '17 at 21:47

Well, your used TeX distribution Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.16 (TeX Live 2015/Debian) is a little bit old.

With my current MiKTeX pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.18 (MiKTeX 2.9.6400 64-bit) I can compile your given code without errors!

I suggest you to update your system.

Are you short before a deadline? Then better do the update after the deadline, because it could be that you get more errors after the update (depends on your used code) ...

I've found this solution from this thread (even have different problem indication):

How to upgrade the package "listings" on Ubuntu?

and the problem is in fpc version. Solution is uninstall fp-utils-3.0.0:

sudo apt-get remove fp-utils-3.0.0
