Package: locales Version: 2.7-16 Severity: wishlist User: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Usertags: package-installation
Hello, while evaluating localepurge on the Openmoko FreeRunner [1], I discovered that localepurge depends on locales, which requires quite a lot of space: ===== debian-gta02:~# apt-get install localepurge [...] The following NEW packages will be installed: localepurge locales 0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 4529kB of archives. After this operation, 12.2MB of additional disk space will be used. [...] [locale set to en_US.UTF-8] [...] debian-gta02:~# ===== On embedded devices like the Openmoko FreeRunner, every single MB counts. This is why it would be good to have a minimal locales-base package localepurge can depend on. FYI, I have not checked why localepurge needs locales.
