You are right, it's not the same problem (I didn't look too deeply into
this, actually). The log file reports this sign of failure:

===========================================

dijkstra:/home/claudio# ls -l /etc/texmf/language.d/
total 12

It's a symlink to 'dash':

dijkstra:/home/claudio# ls -lh /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2006-10-25 10:37 /bin/sh -> dash
