If that's a typo, it's incorrect in the fai-doc package. That should probably solve the problem. Haven't had a chance to test this yet. Did you already find the time to further investigate this? Thanks, Michael Not yet, but I will this week, and can report back at that time. Regards, Ryan

Thanks, Michael Not yet, but I will this week, and can report back at that time. For me the version without comma is correct, as it specifies two parts of the locale. If you want to enable multiple locales, you can simply use multiple lines: locales locales/locales_to_be_generated multiselect de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8 locales locales/locales_to_be_generated multiselect [EMAIL PROTECTED] ISO-8859-15 locales locales/locales_to_be_generated multiselect en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 giving # cat /etc/locale.gen |grep -v '^#' de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ISO-8859-15 en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 on the installed client. I did have to add the package locales to the FAIBASE package config however, it didn't get installed by default. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Based on the log entries (or lack thereof), I initially assumed nothing went wrong when setting up the client's locales, which is not the case, and wasted time looking elsewhere for problems. It didn't get what the right solution would be? If there's a pacakge that needs to be installed before others, we can do this in a hook. If you need to set additional variables, thsi can also be done in a hook with suffix .source. -- regards Thomas
