Actually, I think we're supposed to have a libBrokenLocale, i.e. its presence is not an error. It is apparently a normal part of libc6. I don't know what its for though. 09:20pm ~$ dpkg -S /lib/libBrokenLocale-2.0.7.so libc6: /lib/libBrokenLocale-2.0.7.so The above shows it as an expected part of the libc6 package. -- Ed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
