The problem arises on systems installed more than one year ago, so I don't know if this is an issue any more. I've been installing Debian with the installer set to German, but did not set a default locale. I've installed sid using D-I on a laptop yesterday and the problem seems not to exist any more (at least for me)! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
