It looks like you are trying to install the testing version of locales. Since you have a woody installation, check your /etc/apt/sources.list to make sure it includes woody or stable sources, and /etc/apt/preferences to make sure woody is your target release. You could try "apt-get -t stable install locales" to make sure you are trying to install the woody version. > > ...but if I try to install glibc-2.2.5, I get: glibc-2.2.5-xxx are virtual packages that install libc6-2.2.5-xxx. > > # apt-get install glibc-2.2.5 > Reading Package Lists...
