My language.dat file has a % sign in front of that line.  The problem seems to 
be that fmtutil can't find fmtutil.cnf even though it exists in 3 locations 
on my machine:

/usr/share/tetex-bin/fmtutil.cnf
/etc/texmf/fmtutil.cnf
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf

I guess the install script needs to supply the complete path.  Where are the 
package install scripts stored anyways once a package has been unpacked but 
not successfully configured?
