Bug#578524: Texlive : uncompatibility between varioref and french babel
Package: texlive-latex-base
Version: 2009-8
I use squeeze. When I use together packages varioref and babel with
option french, I get an error with command \vref (!Missing \endcsname
inserted). Example file follows.
It works with texlive 2007.dfsg.2-1~lenny2 (I have access to a
computer with lenny installed).
I tried also babel without option and it works well.
