That is *wrong*, as shown in the same thread the same error
appears also when *not* using babelbib.sty ... how can you propose
a fix in a file that is not even loaded?
As one can check this seems to be a bug either in babel.sty or
in spanish.bdf, I don't know.
But the solution provided there is not a solution at all.
This bug should be reported to the original authors of spanish.bdf
and babel.
Since this is not a Debian specific bug, please report it with detailed
descriptions how to reproduce on an uptodate system to the upupstream
authors of babel and spanish for babel.
Thanks
