The combination of class dinbrief and package pdfpages is not compiling for me. Here's the MWE (well, minimum non-working example in this case):
\documentclass[]{dinbrief}
\usepackage[demo]{pdfpages}
\begin{document}
Text here
\includepdf[pages=1]{somePdfFile}
\end{document}
And this is the resulting .log after running pdflatex on the .tex file:

I believe this can be traced back to the packages directly. This is a new install of Miktex on Windows. I was using the exact same combination of class and package on an older computer with an older Miktex install, so presumably something became incompatible in the meantime. Do you know how to solve this incompatibility?
