I cannot confirm that, on Debian/sid (no idea what feisty is) I can
convert this document without any problems, here is the log file:

I can reproduce it, too.

Sorry for the other email, it looks that I tested it on another machine
with texlive 2005. I retried it and on 2005 it works, on 2007 not.

> When I compare the versions mentioned in the log with the log from

No, gutsy doesn't have newer versions, only I tried an old version.
Thanks for mentioning this, it brought me on the right track.

I will ask on the texlive mailing list.

Hi all!

Ubuntu users reported a bug which is easy to recreate:

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

stops with
! Undefined control sequence.
l.184 \addtoextraslatin
{\LatinMarksOff}

I confirmed that on TeX Live 2005 it DID work, while on TeX Live 2007 it
breaks.

Any comments?

Any chance of pushing this for hardy, before the upstream 2007-14 is in archives? We have now 2007-13 and I had to delete (again) that one singe offending line from latin.ldf by hand. "Patch" attached.
