This looks as if 

- either /var/lib/texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat does not exist,
  which would point to a problem in update-language

- or the search path order is reversed.

Gerd, please send us (in other words: to the bugnumber address) the
results of the following commands:

ls -l /var/lib/texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat
kpsewhere --progname=latex language.dat
grep TEXINPUTS.latex /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf
kpsewhich --var-value=TEXMF

Regards, Frank
