I've upgraded 10 or so machines over the past couple of months, all with tetex-extra. I got exactly this error on about 2 of them; the upgrade worked OK on the others. /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/hyphen/frhyph.tex is missing on the machines where the upgrade failed. But it is also missing on the other machines where the upgrade worked. Instead there is now /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/hyphen/fr19998t.tex The problem is that fr19998t.tex is the correct one, and the language.dat file has changed to take this into account. My guess is that when upgrading, and it asked whether you wanted to keep or replace /etc/texmf/langauge.dat you opted to keep the old one, with. To fix, simply edit language.dat to use fr19998t.tex instead of frhyph.tex (or you should have langauge.dat.dpkg-dist there to refer to), and then run dpkg --configure -a -- Gilbert Laycock email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maths and Computer Science, http://www.mcs.le.ac.uk/~glaycock University of Leicester phone: (+44) 116 252 3902
