Please use localepurge for this. aptitude cannot deal with this situation as you can adapt /etc/default/locale after installing aptitude. This is clearly a task of the packaging system and not of aptitude. (It cannot dynamically adjust the files it distributes, this is fixed at build time!) If you agree please close this bug. PS: localepurge probably doesn't support the manual. Jens -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
