tetex missing Romanian hyphenation support

[Laurentiu Pancescu]

Binary package hint: tetex-base

While trying to "compile" a Romanian LaTeX2e file, the babel package complains about missing the hyphenation rules for the Romanian language, and will default to the ones for English (which are not appropiate). The varioref package lacks completely Romanian support.

The necessary files for Romanian support can be found at http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/language/romanian/RomanianTeX/ (are they missing from Ubuntu, or is it a configuration problem?)

Here's the output I get:

This file is the one I tested with.
