[tex-live] trouble install tl2008 developer snapshot: language.us.def seems to be missing

[Jesse Alama]

I downloaded the latest tl2008 developer snapshot installer (July 6,
2008), installed some packages, and ended up with the following error:

  running post install action for bin-texdoc

What might be going on?

Thanks,
