The default locale is in /etc/default/locale and my lenny system is: $ cat /etc/default/locale LANG="en_US.UTF-8" Osamu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

sid upgrade perl problem
When I finished the upgrade, the locale environment variables were not set and later could not be set. When I open man pages I get warnings about lc_all and language variables. That stuff was selected back when I installed lenny though. Can I do something to straighten things out? I had used utf8 and that was probably a mistake. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
