Package: libc6 Version: 2.2.5-11.2 The localedef utility (as run by locale-gen) uses an extremely large amount of memory. This means it takes a very long time to run on machines without very much RAM (48MB in this case), and my SPARCstation actually ran totally out of memory so localedef was killed by the OOM-killer before it could finish...
Here's a ps snapshot: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 18243 6.9 34.5 41852 13992 pts/7 D 13:41 0:39 localedef -i en_GB -c -f UTF-8 en_GB.UTF-8 Note the ludicrous VSZ. (I dunno, maybe this should be wishlist, but since it's actually bad enough that I can't add extra locales on this SPARC box I'll leave it at normal severity.) -- PMM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
