Package: texlive-latex-base-doc Version: 2009-11+squeeze1 During texlive installation, the (badly outdated) file /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/generic/babel/language.dat
is accessed instead of /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/generic/config/language.dat Apparently tex is not to search /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/ but somehow it does. The installation proceeds smoothly after renaming, cd /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/generic/babel/ \ && mv language.dat language.dat.outdated Then the proper file /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/generic/config/language.dat is read. I suggest that the file is both renamed and updated. I am using cat /etc/debian_version 6.0.5 kernel 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Sun May 6 04:01:19 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux Best regards, Andrew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
