I havent looked at the test in detail, I have not yet decided whether the package would be helpful in Debian. It looks like the test has en_GB.UTF-8 hardcoded, sets the locale to that value and then fails it it's not there. Most likely it's the home locale of the dev. > > How do I solve this?

And build-depending on that is not bad in some way? Greetings Marc -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.
