No, I mean that packages like user-es should not exist at all, because the installer already asks the user about his/her language/charset/etc. Every thing user-es "has" to do is actually a bug in some other package. What we have to do is to fix the real bugs in packages for which LANG=es_ES is not enough, not make things easier for packages like user-es to implement the wrong solution. BTW, /etc/profile is not read by all shells, so whatever problem you want to "fix" by having a profile.d, modifying /etc/profile is surely the wrong solution. Please, could we agree that we disagree and move to more productive matters? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
