Package: localepurge Version: 0.7.3.4 Severity: normal If path-exclude is enabled, localepurge effectively does nothing. In theory, it would remove locales shipped with eventual packages installed after it, but in typical usage, localepurge is installed last or close to last. Even worse, manually invoking it does nothing too. In order to actually purge junk locales, you need to:
dpkg-reconfigure to disable path-exclude run "localepurge" by hand (on a minimallish system clears 110M) dpkg-reconfigure AGAIN, with disabled path-exclude run "localepurge" by hand, to clear another 4M (which it claims you "newly installed" even though nothing was installed between invocations) dpkg-reconfigure to enable path-exclude Only then the option does work as expected. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
