Biblatex conflicts with Babel package for serbianc option












2















When compiling the following example code:



documentclass[a4paper]{article} 

usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage[serbianc]{babel}
usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex}
addbibresource{lit.bib}

begin{document}
TEXT
end{document}


The following error is reported:! Package biblatex Error: Incompatible package 'ucs'.



The line:usepackage[serbianc]{babel} seems to be the cause of the conflict as compiling without that specific line works perfectly.



I'm writing a paper in Serbian which will include a bibliography, can this issue be resolved while keeping both of the necessary packages included in the source.

  • The example as posted compiles fine for me. What version of babel-serbianc do you use? Add listfiles to the beginning of your document and compile it (without biblatex to avoid the error). I have serbianc.ldf 2019/01/12 3.0

  • You are probably using an older version of babel-serbianc (2011/06/06 v2.2 or older), if possible update to the new version 2019/01/12 3.0, it doesn't load ucs any more.

  • @moewe you're right I'm using version 2.2, thank you, I'll try to update it then

With the current version of babel-serbianc (3.0 2019-01-12), the MWE compiles as desired. The package ucs is not loaded. As https://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live-commits/2019-January/008417.html shows older versions of babel-serbianc (at least 2011/06/06 v2.2) did indeed load ucs.



With a bit of trickery from Unload a LaTeX package I can get the example to compile even with the outdated version of babel-serbianc, but you risk things going wrong further down the road. So my express advice is to use the new version of babel-serbianc.

Note that biblatex does not speak Serbian, so the bibliography and citations are going to be in English.
