--- Begin Message ---Package: texlive-latex-base Version: 2009-7 Severity: normal I've used \makeatletter \renewcommand{\...@colonspace}{\fdp@thinspace} \makeatother for years in my French LaTeX documents, and this no longer works with Debian's version of frenchb: ! LaTeX Error: \...@colonspace undefined. See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation. Type H <return> for immediate help. ... l.10 \renewcommand{\...@colonspace} {\...@thinspace} The consequence is that many of my LaTeX files no longer compile. Workaround: install frenchb v2.4a from upstream: http://daniel.flipo.free.fr/frenchb/frenchb.ldf -- Package-specific info: If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries (latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the error in your report. Don't forget to also include minimal examples of other files that are needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures! If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem), you can probably minimize it further.

Agreed, sorry Manuel, I was too quick to forward that.

Same here, sorry Daniel and thanks for the quick answer. On Fr, 08 Jan 2010, Vincent Lefevre wrote: > But will \renewcommand{\Fcolonspace}{\thinspace} still work in > 10 years? Sorry, who cares? If you want that, use plain tex. Yes that is life even in the TeX World. You probably can process all documents even after loads of time, but probably they need some tweaking. As said, only because someone suggested to you to use internal macros does not mean it is the right way. I am closing this bug.
