23+ This is typically caused by a missing LaTeX package. The error

46+ When you declare an index set, you can give it a < tt > position</ tt >
47+ property, which takes one of three
48+ values < tt > free</ tt > , < tt > fixed</ tt >
49+ or < tt > independent</ tt > . Indices which are < tt > free</ tt > can be
50+ raised or lowered at will, and pairs can be at the same position;
51+ these are typically used in case there is no metric associated to
52+ them. Indices which have a different meaning when they are in
53+ subscript or superscript position should, instead, be
54+ declared < tt > fixed</ tt > ; this is what you would typically do in
55+ special/general relativity, where the difference between an upper
56+ or lower index is a factor of the metric. Cadabra can still swap
57+ the position of pairs of indices in e.g. the < tt > canonicalise</ tt >
58+ function. If you want Cadabra to never touch the position of
59+ indices in a set, declare them < tt > independent</ tt > .
