Sorry, I cannot and will not check 2000 texlive packages for incompatible
upgrade versions ... esp since most of the times it is not even
announced there.
If you think that I *should* do that ... well, help is welcome in
maintaining these packages.
I am fine with updating frenchb to a newer version, but that has to wait
until TL 2009 is in testing, the transition phase is in full go and
uploading now a new package would be a bad idea.
Best wishes

CORRIEARKLET (n.)
The moment at which two people approaching from opposite ends of a
long passageway, recognise each other and immediately pretend they
haven't. This is to avoid the ghastly embarrassment of having to
continue recognising each other the whole length of the corridor.
