#2613 Problem with latest Babel package.

[MCh]

This latex file:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\begin{document}
test
\end{document}

gives multiple errors. The first one is:

! Undefined control sequence.
\bbl@switch ...xtras}{}\ifcase \bbl@opt@hyphenmap
\or \def \BabelLower ##1##...
l.3201 \GOfrench
\let\GOfrench\relax%

As has been discussed on c.t.t. the problem is that miktex still contains the obsolete frenchle package https://ctan.org/pkg/frenchle. As this has a french.ldf it clashes with the newest babel which now uses a french.ldf too.

Deinstalling frenchle resolves the problem. In the long run it would be better if frenchle would be removed from the miktex packages.

[Christian Schenk]

frenchle has been removed from the distribution.
