I've also found that changing locale to en_GB has no effect on apt-get update; only LANG= works. Is this a bug or a PEBKAC? On a related issue, what's the canonical way of changing a locale on a machine? Using the login screen, or editing /etc/environment and/or /etc/default/locale? -- Sonia Hamilton.

Thanks heaps, that fixed the problem. I guess based on the following email I should set LANG/LANGUAGE to en_GB. I did some testing on the weekend and with the install I did several times, I found that it made no difference. apt-get update (still reported that the Translation blah) to be on the end of various lines when attempting to use apt-get. Only fix unset LANG LANGUAGE. Would love to know why it does it, rather then use the workaround. It only happens on Edgy too. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Thanks heaps, that fixed the problem.

However I did find a fix or atleast a work around to resolve it. It's like the info in the sources.list has extra characters, but it don't. Let me see if I can dig up the work around, I remember it was a matter of changing a file.
