Bug#264809: Missing '%' in language.dflt
Package: tetex-base
Version: 2.0.2a-2
In /usr/share/tetex-base/language.dflt, there's a comment symbol missing
in line 48:
47: =austrian
48: For use with ngerman.sty (neue Rechtschreibung):
49: ngerman dehyphn.tex
It should say instead:
47: =austrian
48: % For use with ngerman.sty (neue Rechtschreibung):
49: ngerman dehyphn.tex
This makes dpkg -i tetex-bin fail, if you choose to let debconf do the
language.dat handling:
Error: `etex -ini -jobname=latex -progname=latex *latex.ini' failed
Error: `etex -ini -jobname=elatex -progname=elatex *elatex.ini' failed
Error: `pdfetex -ini -jobname=pdflatex -progname=pdflatex *pdflatex.ini' failed
Error: `pdfetex -ini -jobname=pdfelatex -progname=pdfelatex *pdfelatex.ini' failed
Error: `omega -ini -jobname=lambda -progname=lambda lambda.ini' failed
Running etex -ini [...] manually gives:

The file "use" mentioned here is indeed the "use" in the sentence that
was mistakenly commented in in line 48. I verified that commenting that
line out fixes tetex-bin installation.
