Created attachment 417744 [details] logfile indicating missing dutch.ldf texlive-langdutch builds fine, but on using it, babel complains about missing file dutch.ldf other texlive-langXXX run fine. shortest example, filename test.tex: \documentclass{article} \usepackage[dutch]{babel} \begin{document} \end{document} for logfile: see attachment
yes, you should use texlive-langeuropean with recent texlive versions, which provides dutch.ldf, as LINGUAS=nl will pull with app-text/texlive
