All, Somehow my locale settings (which I don't really understand the relevance of, yet) got changed ... I believe through my use of a package in unstable, the "Debian Chinese Panel." I noticed I was getting a lot of Perl / locale warnings etc on apt-getting packages, so I started looking into the issue of locales. The output of the locale command on my system is as follows:
LANG=zh_TW.Big5 LC_CTYPE="zh_TW.Big5" LC_NUMERIC="zh_TW.Big5" LC_TIME="zh_TW.Big5" LC_COLLATE="zh_TW.Big5" LC_MONETARY="zh_TW.Big5" LC_MESSAGES="zh_TW.Big5" LC_PAPER="zh_TW.Big5" LC_NAME="zh_TW.Big5" LC_ADDRESS="zh_TW.Big5" LC_TELEPHONE="zh_TW.Big5" LC_MEASUREMENT="zh_TW.Big5" LC_IDENTIFICATION="zh_TW.Big5" LC_ALL=zh_TW.Big5 Which is, I guess, a problem. I want to do work with Chinese characters, but these *all* shouldn't be set thus, I don't think. Is there an easy way to reset my locale settings?
