Bug#435812: Cannot install texlive-latex-base due to post-installation script failure

[Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com>]

Quoting Hilmar Preusse:
: For any reason your language.dat file
: (/var/lib/texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat) contains an entry
: for the file ushyph1.tex, which is not provided by TeX Live.

I did not update the file manually.  This file is generated by
update-language.

The "american ushyph1.tex" line comes from the file:

	/etc/texmf/language.d/00tetex.cnf

A "dpkg --search" reveals this file was provided by tetex-base.

And I have:

ii  tetex-base       2007-10          TeX Live: teTeX transitional package

Furthermore, comments in the file

	/var/lib/texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat

say that ushyph1.tex MUST be the first file loaded, so I can't really
comment it.  I'd have to comment in /etc/texmf/language.d/ anyway,
and those files are owned by tetex-base, so it really means something
is broken in tetex-base.

Do you agree?
