Package: locales Version: 2.9-9 Severity: grave I upgraded locales (and other packages) today. I saw no problem in principle. Afterwards, I installed some other packages (all the time with synaptic), and I obtained in the output "E locales subprocess script killed by signal Aborted" and, of course, any subsequent installation left the packages half configured (that is why I think the severity is grave).
"dpkg --configure locales" did the job OK. And "apt-get -f install" seemed to fix things. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages locales depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.26 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 [glibc-2.9-1] 2.9-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries locales recommends no packages. locales suggests no packages. -- debconf information: locales/default_environment_locale: en_GB.UTF-8 locales/locales_to_be_generated: en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8
