Hi!
It looks like the OP is using Debian/unstable or Debian/testing. This is
"work in progress" and there was a re-structuring of the language support
packages. So I would consider the problem one of the "rough edges" of the
unstable branch, not a Debian bug.
The original poster is running a Debian stable/unstable-mix. I guess that
is the reason for some of the problems.
Wolfgang, is there any reason why you don't want to run pure
Debian/testing or unstable installation?
Debian/stable is intended for systems like servers (or the laptops on the
ISS) where absolute stability is crucial. If one wants/has to use
up-to-date software on Debian/stable, the installation process is very
prone to errors.
This is the reason I switched from Ubuntu to Debian testing. Ubuntu is
based on a more or less dated snapshot of Debian/testing. I spent a week
trying to install a piece of new software which had a very old version in
the Ubuntu repositories.
In the end it was a choice between gnawing of one of my feet in
frustration or trying to install Debian/testing. I never had to regret
that. Debian/unstable is still incredibly stable, and Debian/testing is
even more so.
You seem to be tech-savy, able to read and follow instructions and not
afraid to ask questions. This more than qualifies you to run it.
Additionally, Debian/testing would lead to much less problems.
If I select this for installation, synaptic is going to remove a lot of
texlive and other stuff, which I hesitate to do.
To the actual problem:
My guess is a version mixup between the Stable/unstable packages.
You can try this: sudo apt-get -t unstable install texlive-lang-all ,
telling your Debian it shall install the newer packages specifically.
There has to be a way to do that in synaptic directly, but I don't know
it. Also, you can install the needed language packs specifically,
texlife-lang-all is 850 Mb large.
The texlive you've installed is the newer version, a dependency of Lyx
2.0.6. Texlive 2012 and 2013 are mutually exclusive packages.
For my own problem:
In this case, manually removing ngerman (or, if the references are part
of
the document, not included via BibTeX, changing the language to English)
may
be a last resort.
The text in question is written in English, and I'm not aware of any
German reference in it. I've sent the text to a friend to read it, and she
opened it in a German LyX-installation. Maybe the line was added at this
point, I haven`t exported this particular file to PDF in a while.
Greetings!
Ph.
