Conflict between yathesis and changes

[BambOoxX]

Trying to record modifications using the changes package, II stumbled upon the following error.

! LaTeX Error: Command \comment already defined.

However, it could not locate the package defining \comment in yathesis.cls.

As I do not use this functionality of changes, I use this temporary solution using the savesym package.

\documentclass{yathesis}
\usepackage{savesym}
\savesymbol{comment}
\usepackage{changes}
\restoresymbol{chcomment}{comment}

Any idea on the origin of the issue ?

Good catch, thanks!

AFAICS, the culprit is the verbatim package which is loaded by the tcolorbox which is loaded by the yathesis class.

I must admit yathesis should not load tcolorbox by default and I'll probably drop it for its next version. Meanwhile, your workaround is a good solution.
