Hm. I've looked in the old localebin and new locales packages and neither
of them contain msgfmt, so now I'm really stumped. Where does msgfmt
come from?

I'm having trouble compiling KDE from source which I think relates to the
fact that I don't have a locales package. If I try selecting locales, I
get the following:
_* Std adminlocales Locale data files and utilities.

locales not installed; install (was: purge). Standard
libc5 conflicts with locales (= 2.0.4-1)
Without locales installed on my system, however, the make bombs out in
the middle of building kdebase complaining that it can't find msgfmt,
which I believe, from speaking with friends with RedHat, is part of
locales support.
What do I do here? I'm too deeply into libc6 to back that out. I can't
live without the libc5 apps that locales disagrees with above. Can I fall
back to an older locales? Can I install locales anyway?
Finally, I had one other little snag with KDE. I installed qt-dev in
with a --force-depends in spite of the fact that it said it required
libc5-dev. I do have libc5-altdev on my system. Is this OK?
