includepdf always inserts the first page of the PDF, even if I specify which page I want to insert.

Start with a three-page PDF file, generated by external.tex:

documentclass[a4paper]{article}

begin{document}

Page 1



newpage

Page 2



newpage



Page 3

end{document}

Then use this code:

documentclass[a4paper]{article}

usepackage[final]{pdfpages}

begin{document}

includepdf[pages={2}]{external.pdf}

end{document}

The resulting document shows “Page 1”, instead of “Page 2”.

I get the same behavior from xelatex and pdflatex. I'm using MikTeX, and all of my packages are up to date. EDIT: I have run the update wizard both as a user and as an admin.

This is similar to this question, but that is evidently a separate issue, because the answers there do not work: I am specifying which pages to insert, and all of the filenames are in lowercase.

EDIT: Here is the log file:

I was able to solve the problem by installing the graphics-def package.

Following @moewe's comment, I tried to find out why I had an old version of texlatexgraphics-defxetex.def. This answer suggested installing graphics-def.

Presumably this is a dependency that should be made explicit; or perhaps xetex.def should be updated automatically somehow.
