Hi,

The message clearly states that it is a bug: even if you did something
wrong the message itself is wrong. For some reason the variable is not
in the environment anymore (maybe you closed the section?) but
something asked for it.

Please try to provide a standalone file producing the error, otherwise
we cannot help you.

You should file a bug report in the coq bug tracking system
(https://coq.inria.fr/bugs/) and attach the file.

You may post the file here anyway so that we help you out of this.

Best regards,
Pierre
