I see...

That's OK.

No, I have no cahyph.tex in the search path. But in language.dat cahyph.tex is
mentioned. Somer users speak catalan so as administrator I used texconfig and
uncomment the line referring to cahyph.tex. I've been using testing in this
computer since almost a year. I remember at least two tetex-bin updates. My
intuition is that file language.dat was never upgraded, maybe a bug in the
installation script?

I'd rather prefer using texconfig. But thans for your suggestion.
Well, I have used texconfig to edit language.dat and I have commented the line
referring to cahyph.tex and voilà! ;-) Now tetex-bin is OK in my system. so I
think this bug can be happily closed. Thanks a lot for your soon answer. Your
time and efforts are greatly appreciated.
