Command \c@abspage already defined

[martinantonmueller]

This MWE

\documentclass{scrbook}
\usepackage[perpage]{footmisc} 
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{zref-abspage}
\begin{document}
nothing much                                                      
\end{document}

creates the above stated message. Any idea how to avoid the options clash?

[FrankMittelbach]

The new footmisc implementation delegates the perpage option mainly to the package "perpage", so your conflict comes from zref-abspage not handling the fact that the counter "abspage" may already been defined, ie you get the same from

\documentclass{scrbook}
\usepackage{perpage}
\usepackage{zref-abspage}

Swapping the packages seems to work (though I'm not sure the two are really compatible). So with footmisc it means moving zref-abspage before footmisc.

Thank you!
