You chose british english -> locale for that is en_GB (is you chose american english, that doesn't make any difference). Then you chose Belgium as a country -> default locale is fr_BE. Now the program tries to see if en_BE exists. Since it didn't exist in our list of available locales, it splitted between the locales for languages (taking the default, en_GB) and for country (taking the default, fr_BE). So we need to install locales-fr so that glibc has necessary information about fr_BE locale. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
