I can use approx with LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8, and it attempts to download the Russian translation files. It fails because they aren't on the remote repository, so apt-get gets a 404 and prints "Ign ...". I think this is correct behavior. I also tried with a French locale, for which there were translation files, and this seemed to work OK too.
I just want to confirm that the bug is still present, because there was some trouble with ftp.us.debian.org for a while, IIRC. -- Eric Cooper e c c @ c m u . e d u -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
