Hi all,
please read below at "Description", this is an automated template for
the LaTeX Bugtracking system. This issue is only half of Debian's bug
#374215; docbook should also try to do the right thing and switch babel
into do-not-redefine-itemize-Mode by checking for
\FrenchItemizeSpacingfalse and setting it if it isn't already. This
must be done after loading babel, of course - either by making sure that
\usepackage{babel} comes before \usepackage{docbook}, or with
\AtBeginDocument magic (or scrlfile.sty).
Regards, Frank

>Description:
Description of bug:
Babel's french option redefines the itemize environment. It does that
by changing \itemize only without caring for \enditemize. Since this is
only done \AtBeginDocument, a document that tries to redefine that
environment itself using the usual LaTeX command \renewenvironment will
fail; the error message is
! LaTeX Error: \begin{itemize} on input line 13 ended by \end{list}.
>How-To-Repeat:
Sample file which indicates the problem:
========================================
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\renewenvironment{itemize}{%
\begin{list}
}{
\end{list}
}
\begin{document}
\begin{itemize}
\item foo
\end{itemize}
\end{document}
The log file from running LaTeX on the sample:
