Hey there,

TL2011 is in great shape overall now. Thanks!

During the last few cycles of updates, I keep getting the same
hyphenation problems:

German hyphenation patterns are working (i.e. in the fmt etc.) before
the update.

Updating (F16 with texlive repo) texlive disables them:

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.3-1.40.12 (TeX Live 2011)
 restricted \write18 enabled.
entering extended mode
(./m.tex
LaTeX2e <2011/06/27>
Babel <v3.8m> and hyphenation patterns for english, dumylang,
nohyphenation, lo
aded.
...

After the reinstall dance

rpm -e texlive-hyphen-german texlive-german;yum install
texlive-hyphen-german texlive-german

they work again:
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.3-1.40.12 (TeX Live 2011)
 restricted \write18 enabled.
entering extended mode
(./m.tex
LaTeX2e <2011/06/27>
Babel <v3.8m> and hyphenation patterns for english, dumylang,
nohyphenation, ge
rman, ngerman, swissgerman, loaded.

So some scripts (fmt rebuild) must have been triggered in the wrong
order, i.e. in a state when there were no german patterns (?).

Cheers,
Michael
