tetex install problem: fmtutil failed

[Dmitry Potapov <dpotapov@capitalsoft.com>]

Hi,

I have upgrade my system from slink to potato, but during
installation of `tetex-base' package I get the following message

Preparing to replace tetex-base 1.0-4 (using tetex-base_1.0-4.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement tetex-base ...
Setting up tetex-base (1.0-4) ...
texhash: Updating /usr/local/lib/texmf/ls-R...
texhash: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R...  
texhash: Updating /var/spool/texmf/ls-R...
texhash: Done.
Running initex. This may take some time. ...
fmtutil: `tex -ini -fmt=latex -progname=latex latex.ini' failed.
Output of initex is in /tmp/texE3D03P

Although `tetex-base' package marked as installed, but `babel' package does
not work.
When I try compile by latex any text that used `babel' package I get the
following error:

! Undefined control sequence.
l.20 \ProvidesLanguage
                      {russianb}
?


Any advice would be appreciated,

Dmitry
