All I can tell you is that I ***did*** initially get that error message 
doing "latex demo"
and there was no reference to "hypdestopt" in the code of "demo.tex".  I am
no longer getting the error, which is utterly mysterious, so I cannot 
"reproduce it"
to prove my case.

If you run "latex demo" and examine demo.log you will see many references
to "oberdiek"; it is in the oberdiek package that hypdestopt.sty lives.  
I don't
know what is going on, but I certainly made no reference to hypdestop nor
to oberdiek in any code that I wrote.

     cheers,
