Reason for closing:  Works for me
Additional comments about closing:  Compilation works without issue with a vanilla install.

Hello,
Your logfile foo.log shows that compilation is using a local file that you have
(/home/ap/texmf/tex/latex/frenchle/french.ldf), dating back to 2006.

Local files have precedence over system files. I strongly suggest that you clean up any local obsolete libraries from your HOME:
- /home/ap/texmf/tex/french
- /home/ap/texmf/tex/latex/frenchle
to avoid weird behaviour.
