Not a problem at all :)

Hmm, I've tried `dpkg --configure tetex-bin`, and you're right, CUR_LDAT
isn't actually defined/set at any point...

>/usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat
>/etc/texmf/language.dat

The above to files don't exist....

Doing a little poking around in tetex-bin_2.0.2-17_i386.deb;

[nemesis@saturn] ~/tmp$ find . -iname "language.dat"
./usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat

So it appears that language.dat is in the tetex-bin package.. but not where
you expected it.

[nemesis@saturn] ~/tmp$ ls /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/
fontmath.cfg  fonttext.cfg  language.dat  preload.cfg

And indeed, it's been put there.

Nope, just did a simple apt-get install.

Plenty of space free.

Out of interest, is there a way to select the language patterns manually?
e.g. `dpkg --configure tetex-lang` or something ?
