AFAIK, /etc/environment is depreciated in favor of /etc/default/locale. It seems that the new file automatically gets configured without the problematic quotes around the locale names. Your problem suggests that "sudo -i" still uses settings from /etc/environment, which might be a bug. (I am not sure about the official Debian policy regarding /etc/environment and /etc/default/locale.) -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
