Hi Graham, you are fully right, but technically this is a bug in locale and localedef programs, which belongs to the libc6 package. I do not know whether it makes sense to reassign it. This bug has been reported upstream http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=181 on 2004-05-25 with a patch, hopefully upstream will give a comment soon :-/ Denis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
