Comment 4 for bug 240823

I can confirm this bug also for "texlive-lang-spanish" in Ubuntu 8.10
    texlive-base: 2007.dfsg.1-2
    texlive-lang-spanish: 2007.dfsg.3-2

The relevant part of /etc/texmf/language.d/10texlive-lang-spanish.cnf
spanish xu-eshyph.tex
=espanol
catalan cahyph.tex
galician xu-glhyph.tex

Can anyone give us an update? What's going on with this problem?
Is there a workaround to manually set the hyphenation patterns?
