! Package lipsum Error: Language 'latin' undefined.

[cderv]

Hi,

With an updated TeX Live installation, I got issue with this package now

! Package lipsum Error: Language 'latin' undefined.

This happens with a simple file and pdftex engine.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]
\end{document}

If I deactivate the auto lang it is working fine

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\setlipsum{auto-lang=false}
\lipsum[1]
\end{document}

Is there anything else to install to make the package work again with default ?

I am on windows 10 and tlmgr revision 59291 (2021-05-21 05:14:40 +0200)

Thanks.

This is partially a duplicate of #6. Oddly though, you said you get the error with pdfTeX (for me it works)... Maybe you don't have all required languages installed: is your installation full or is it a smaller scheme?

Please try loading babel, see if it works:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{babel}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]
\end{document}

P.S.: I didn't mean to close the issue. Stupid finger touched the wrong place on the tiny mobile screen :)

This is not a full install for sure.

When I add babel I got this message

! Package babel Error: You haven't defined the language 'latin' yet.
(babel)                Perhaps you misspelled it or your installation
(babel)                is not complete.

See the babel package documentation for explanation.

What is missing exactly ?

This is the first time I get this type of error with this smaller scheme installation. Usually, missing package is in the log and can be easily installed.

With the last update I made \lipsum use proper Latin hyphenation patterns for the dummy text, so you get better line-breaking (see #2). Though I assumed a full installation with the Latin language installed. I should add proper recovery when the languages are not available.

What is missing exactly ?

From lipsum, a proper recovery for missing languages (or a dependency listing for tlmgr so it installs automatically). I will correct this for the next update.

From your installation, the Latin hyphenation patterns. I believe it is the babel-latin package, but maybe lahyph too; I'm not sure (can't check at the moment).

Of course for now you can disable this feature as you showed with \setlipsum{auto-lang=false}.

This is the first time I get this type of error with this smaller scheme installation. Usually, missing package is in the log and can be easily installed.

The missing package is not a package in the LaTeX/\usepackage sense, but a CTAN package for Latin hyphenation patterns which are built into the LaTeX format, so you don't see an error about a missing package in the log.

Thanks that makes sense!

For now I have indeed deactivated.

Thanks!
