So I have this letter template, which used to work fine until recently. I know there was a bug in the komascript classes <3.21. My distro maintainer (Arch Linux) has upgraded komascript to 3.21. Here is my MWE:
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{marvosym}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage{english}
\usepackage[english=british]{csquotes}
\pagestyle{empty}
\usepackage[scale=0.775]{geometry}
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
\addtolength{\parskip}{6pt}
\def\firstname{John}
\def\familyname{Doe}
\def\FileAuthor{\firstname \familyname}
\def\FileTitle{\firstname \familyname's }
\def\FileSubject{Letter}
\def\FileKeyWords{\firstname \familyname, Letter}
\renewcommand{\ttdefault}{pcr}
\usepackage{url}
\urlstyle{tt}
\ifpdf
\usepackage[pdftex,pdfborder=0,breaklinks,baseurl=http://,pdfpagemode=None,pdfstartview=XYZ,pdfstartpage=1]{hyperref}
\hypersetup{

pdftitle = \FileTitle,%
pdfsubject = \FileSubject,%
pdfkeywords = \FileKeyWords,%
pdfcreator = \LaTeX,%
pdfproducer = \LaTeX}
\else
\usepackage[dvips]{hyperref}

Dimensions can be in units of em, ex, in, pt, pc,
cm, mm, dd, cc, nd, nc, bp, or sp; but yours is a new one!
I'll assume that you meant to say pt, for printer's points.
To recover gracefully from this error, it's best to
delete the erroneous units; e.g., type `2' to delete
two letters. (See Chapter 27 of The TeXbook.)

Is this error still caused by komascript or some other package?
If I insert \usepackage{luatex85} it does compile, so I am wondering if this is another komascript related?!
luatexengine which do not preserve backwards compatibility. This is why loading theluatex85package solves the problem. – Alan Munn Aug 23 '16 at 17:30
