Calculations ignored on a fresh MiKTeX install

Question

On a fresh MiKTeX 2.9 install, previously working piece of code

\begin{tabular}{>{}p{9em}p{\linewidth-12em}}

is not working anymore — -12em is being outputted in table row fields instead of being calculated. What have I missed?

For that to work the calc package is necessary. It may have happened that a package used to load it and doesn't now in a more recent version.

You forgot

\usepackage{calc}

, which supports infix arithmetic in LaTeX.
