Minimum working example (TeX file)

In TeXlive 2017 (sorry, I'm not sure exactly which package this pertains to, as Texlive consists of many packages), you currently can't do

\usepackage[USenglish]{babel}

If you try this, you get an error saying it can't find USenglish.ldf.

You have to do 

\usepackage[usenglish]{babel}

However, USenglish is a standard and valid language name according to the Babel documentation, and it works fine on one other Linux distribution I tried. This could prevent Gentoo from being able to compile standard LaTeX files that work elsewhere.

I have attached a minimal working example, as well as the log file and command line output.

I'd work harder on getting y'all a more complete solution, but this LaTeX macro stuff is black magic and way over my head. Thanks!
