Hi,

I have found an incompatibility between the package colortbl and the
dinbrief documentclass.

The problem sneaked into bullseye and did not exist in buster.  It
seems to be still present in bookwork unfortunately (for verification
i copied both colortbl.sty and dinbrief.cls into the directory
containing the sample LaTeX file).

Please see this minimal LaTeX files to reproduce the problem


This file can be compiled:

----------------------------------------
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{colortbl}

\begin{document}
foo
\end{document}
----------------------------------------

This file cannot be compiled:

----------------------------------------
\documentclass[11pt]{dinbrief}
\usepackage{colortbl}

\begin{document}
foo
\end{document}
----------------------------------------

Compiling the second file results in this error:

As you probably are able to speak German I refer this thread from dctt
[1]. The issue is probably in dinbrief, but I have little hope that
we'll get a fix for this. Tagging.
