Re: Package babel Error: Unknow option `ngerman'
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.

Hi! more serious: if I try to export a pdf output from my document, I get ! Package babel Error: Unknow option `ngerman'. Either you misspelled it (babel)or the language definition file ngerman.ldf was not found. and no output. I use lyx 2.0.6-1+b1 and texlive 2013 under DebianI had the same error while compiling documents, I solved it by manually deleting all lines from the document in question which contained "/ngerman". (By opening them in a text editor and using the search feature) This worked like a charm.This can be due to sheer luck, it is possible that this opens a can of worms in other documents.I advice to make backups before editing the source document manually.(By the way, just commenting it out by adding a # to the beginning of the line in question did not work.)If you want to install more packages instead try either "texlive-lang-german" or "texlive-lang-all".Hope this helped,Ph.
