Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.2.ds1-22 Severity: normal Hi,
$ locale -a locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory C POSIX de_DE de_DE.iso88591 [EMAIL PROTECTED] de_DE.utf8 [EMAIL PROTECTED] deutsch german $ dpkg --list locales Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ pn locales <none> (no description available) [57/[EMAIL PROTECTED] sid-clamav-getfiles]:~$ Since the man page says that -a writes the names of _available_ locales, and no locales are available without the locales package. So, locale should notice this. This was the case in previous versions, and is not that way any more.
