Hello, I have the lines you mentioned in my 00tetex.cnf: # Change "tex.ini -> bplain.ini" and "- -> language.dat" # if you want babel support in tex: tex tex - tex.ini # Change "etex -> tex" and "*latex.ini -> latex.ini" to get back # the traditional, non-eTeX-2 enabled LaTeX format named latex. # Analogous changes can be made for pdflatex. latex etex language.dat *latex.ini etex etex language.def *etex.ini elatex etex language.dat *elatex.ini # Change "pdftex.ini -> pdfbplain.ini" and "- -> language.dat" # if you want babel support in pdftex: pdftex pdftex - pdftex.ini pdflatex pdfetex language.dat *pdflatex.ini pdfetex pdfetex language.def *pdfetex.ini pdfelatex pdfetex language.dat *pdfelatex.ini omega omega - omega.ini lambda omega language.dat lambda.ini And I have never modified any configuration file of latex. I have run fmtutil --missing which gave me no output and did not correct the problem nor apt-get install --reinstall tetex-bin. Cheers, Samuel.
