If the locales pkg isn't installed (what you may be informed of by
issueing "dpkg -l | grep \ locales\ | grep ^ii || echo uninstalled"
on a single line):
apt-get install locales
Else:
dpkg-reconfigure locales
(as root)
then "export LC_ALL=en_US" in your shell init script
((.bash(rc|_profile))?

I personally plan to pkg most of OSCAR softs --not yet featured in
Debian of course-- so that everything goes that easy; note that pvm,
mpich, systemimager&co among others are already in / maintained /
supported by Debian

yes; best thing would probably be to wrap such distro-specific tools
in a per-distro layer. It would have great interest, let's say, to
easily replace "rpm -i" by "apt-get install", same for updating stuff,
and so on. If I were a perl guru...

ushh - so, some services that OSCAR wants to stop definitely are still
up and running. I'd do such stoppings from my oscar-common pkg
postinst script (asking admin to confirm such an intrusive command WRT
other pkg maintainers' choice). Distro-spe layer may also help there.

that would constitute a perfect candidate to do such task.

this, in a debian-spe layer, would run "apt-get install oscar-server"
and may not fail as far as oscar-server is correctly
packaged/maintained.
(We may rather prefer not using GUI at all, and run above command from a
script or whatever.)

I wonder if cron-apt wouldn't do the same

this error sounds quite mysterious to me: did you try to copy
/etc/apt/sources.list to the file looked for?

Well, I didn't test it, but I used to hack it sometimes - it may work
quite fine w/ hooks from there to there. However, I rather prefer
building pkgs my best, relying on solid Debian policies, before to
continue w/ next step.
