No problem, thanks for reporting.

Indeed.

With a simple quoting in the above line
	$errors += do_cmd_and_check("fmtutil$sysmode --byhyphen \"$lang\"");
that first problem should go away.

I tried it, but then fmtutil(-sys) complained:

fmtutil-sys --byhyphen "/home/norbert/tl/i 2013/texmf-var/tex/generic/config/language.dat" failed (status 1), output:
grep: 2013/texmf-var/tex/generic/config/language.dat: No such file or directory
grep: 2013/texmf-var/tex/generic/config/language.dat: No such file or directory
grep: 2013/texmf-var/tex/generic/config/language.dat: No such file or directory

Changing the line 934 of fmtutil.sh to
	match_cmd="echo \"\$this_hyphenfile\" | grep \"$hyphenfile\" >/dev/null"
(i.e., adding quotatin there, too) I get it more or less working
(besides the fact that some formats do not build!)

Mojca, attached is the full patch, can you please try if that helps in
your case, too? Apply with patch -p2 in your 2013 directory.

Thanks

Norbert
