Document Classes ⇒ babel not loading hyphenation packages

[izak]

Hi all

I use tetex installed using the package manager from the standard Ubuntu dapper repositories. When I build my project (using Kile) at work it works fine, but when I build it at home (same versions of all software as far as I know) I get many bad boxes. Upon examining the log files in a difference viewer I found that, where my work version has:

Code: Select all

Babel <v3.8d> and hyphenation patterns for american, french, german, ngerman, b
ahasa, basque, bulgarian, catalan, croatian, czech, danish, dutch, esperanto, e
stonian, finnish, greek, icelandic, irish, italian, latin, magyar, norsk, polis
h, portuges, romanian, russian, serbian, slovak, slovene, spanish, swedish, tur
kish, ukrainian, nohyphenation, loaded.

my home version has

Code: Select all

Babel <v3.8d> and hyphenation patterns for loaded.

I checked the babel user guide distributed with my system, but it doesn't make sense that I should include extra babel commands in my tex file since the exact same file has correct hyphenation on my work PC. So it must be some setting. After some internet search I think I'll check my language.dat file tonight to see if it differs from my work one... any other thoughts?

This was a bug in ubuntu dapper 6.06. The fix can be found on launchpad (the ubuntu bug tacking facility).
