Hi,

>   The float package

Then the order is wrong in the document.

The order of loading fixltx2e and float is important when you
use the extension of float.

The following document compiles correctly:
	\documentclass{article}
	\usepackage{fixltx2e}
	\usepackage{float}
	\begin{document}
	\begin{figure}[H]
	 Huu
	\end{figure}
	\end{document}

Thus, at best, this is an upupstream bug that we are not dealing with in
Debian, since upstream TeX Live will only take what is on CTAN.

There is nothing we, or TeX Live upstream, or not even LaTeX Team
upupstream can do to make sure that all overridden macros behave in
all combinations of packages.

The simple solution I gave above, fix the order of package loading.

This time closing the bug.
