Any clues?
Have you checked your filesystem is in a good state? There is no need to reinstall or to regenerate locales, libc.mo is provided by the locales packages directly, as your dpkg -S search shows. So if the file is there but can't be opened by the kernel, I would go for a kernel or a filesystem issue. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
