I've had a similar locales problem, and it seems to have resulted from incompatibility of package versions. I resolved it by doing # aptitude upgrade, which upgraded my perl.
The suggetion to set C_TIME = "en_DK.UTF-8" in order to get the European date format interested me. However, despite putting an export statement into ~/.bashrc or setting varible/value in /etc/drfault/locale, I still get $ locale ... LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" How would one set this particular variable to be different from the value of others? Would the variable LC_ALL have to be removed from the /etc/default/locale list? -- Haines Brown, KB1GRM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
