That was, errr, interesting. Since I have locale-purge installed and it runs after packages are installed via Aptitude, it helpfully cleaned out the en_US.UTF-8 locale since I hadn't selected it back who know's when via the locales package. All kinds of weired and interesting effects occured once I allowed en_US.UTF-8 become the default. :-) As a work around I've set en_US as my locale in my .bashrc and will wait until a number of pacakges get updated and the UTF locale gets restored before trying again. At least I think I'm on the right track. I guess that some tools fall into the realm of "if you know what you're doing". ;-) - Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
