--- Begin Message ---Package: locales Version: 2.13-36 Severity: critical --- Please enter the report below this line. --- This version of locales causes any script that includes the line . /etc/default/locales to exit with a floating point exception. Unfortunately, dash shows this as multiple commands within the script exiting with "trap divide error" followed by floating point error, making the error very difficult to determine the cause of. This bug causes the system to fail to boot, and prevents the scripts in /etc/init.d from running correctly. --- System information. --- Architecture: Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 Debian Release: wheezy/sid 500 unstable qgis.org 500 unstable ftp.debian.org 500 stable dl.google.com 500 sid linux.dropbox.com 100 experimental-snapshots qt-kde.debian.net 1 experimental ftp.debian.org --- Package information. --- Package's Depends field is empty.
