libc confusion

With 'unstable' I'm getting an increasingly large number of packages being held back (seemingly on 'libc') and was wondering whether I'd messed something up (eg when experimenting with 'apt-cacher' and generally trying to get a new box up and running 'unstable').

"colours" and "centred" in Sid Gnome

Hi all: I've recently moved my home desktop to Sid. When using the Gnome terminal's profile, I see "colours" rather than "colors", and when changing the desktop background, I see "centred" rather than "centered". My preference is for a US English rather than a British English language. I hav
