I'm using cygwin on Windows 7, setup.exe version 2.879 (64 bit).
I updated my packages yesterday, and now Babel in LaTeX is having
trouble. The line:
\usepackage[USenglish]{babel}
is eliciting the following error message:
! Package babel Error: Unknown option `USenglish'. Either you misspelled it
(babel) or the language definition file USenglish.ldf was not fo
und.
See the babel package documentation for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
...
l.393 \ProcessOptions*
?
This is the correct parameter for the babel package and works on other
platforms and worked before the package update.
When I change the line to:
\usepackage[usenglish]{babel}
the error goes away.
Is there an issue with how latex was packaged?
Thanks.

No, this is a known bug in the upstream babel-english package:
http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2017-June/040243.html
It looks like a fix was just committed a few days ago. I'll update
texlive-collection-latex within the next few days.

I've just uploaded texlive-collection-latex-20170520-2 with the fix. It
should hit the mirrors shortly.
