Package: texlive-base
Version: 2009-6
Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
If I try to use "amsfonts" together with "SIunits", pdflatex gives me an
error, that these cannot be used together
! Package SIunits Error: The command \square was already defined.
(SIunits) Possibly due to the amssymb package.
It then says
Hint: use option `amssymb' or `squaren' with SIunits package.
See SIunits.dvi or readme.txt section: Known problems and limitations.
Note, that it already thinks, that I am using "amssymb" in the error message
above. Using the amssymb package does not change anything and squaren.sty
is not available in Debian.
Is that a bug or just one of the inconveniences that come with the texlive
complexity?

Agreed, closing this bug, not each package is compatible weach other.
