When attempting to upgrade to Debian 6.0.2 from Debian 6.0.1, I received the
following error in e2fsprogs:

A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
scotsman:/home/rdb#
Creating the directory /usr/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES/ allowed installation
to continue and complete successfully.
After a little further investigation, it appears that before upgrade, I had no
packages that included messages in LC_MESSAGES for the Turkish locale, and thus
/usr/share/locale/tr did not exist. On upgrade to 6.0.2, several packages now
have Turkish local error messages. As it happens, the first to attempt to
install was e2fsprogs, which failed with the error above. By moving
/usr/share/locale/tr/ aside and reinstalling otrher packages with files in
/usr/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES/ (I chose vino), I was able to show that
other packages ensure this directory is created and do not fail in the same
way as e2fsprogs.
Tentative suggested resolution: enhance installation of e2fsprogs for the
existence of /usr/share/locale/tr/ and /usr/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES/, and
to create them if they do not exist.
