我使用以下文件运行pdflatex
\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage[german]{babel}
\begin{document}
Tach auch
\end{document}
并得到错误：

我已经看到了这个问题：未加载该语言的连字模式
我已经sudo fmtutil --all -sys在我的系统上这样做了。
从我的发行版安装了以下名称中带有“德语”的软件包：
texlive-babel-german.noarch 8:svn47192-25.fc29 @updates
texlive-datetime2-german.noarch 8:svn45800-25.fc29 @updates
texlive-german.noarch 8:svn42428-25.fc29 @updates
texlive-glossaries-german.noarch 8:svn35665.1.0-25.fc29 @updates
如果我更改，ngerman我会收到更多警告/错误。但我想继续使用“旧德语”。

我在这里找到了一个解决方案：
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1595165
因此首先卸载该包：
texlive-hyphen-german.noarch
然后移除rm ~/.texlive2018/ -rf
然后再次安装：
sudo dnf install texlive-hyphen-german.noarch
现在它起作用了！
