Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.34

dpkg keeps segfaulting, leaving half-installed _extremely_ broken packages
lying around, when using the German message files. This happened repeatedly
with 

        - xemacs20-support
        - emacs20
        - slrn

and a couple other times (all from slink) with other packages I don't
remember any more. When unSETting LC_ALL and LANG, dpkg works fine.

This made me quite nervous because I was updateing a production machine.
Thank $DEITY nothing happened =;()
