Hi, I have a problem with all iso-8859 locales i tryed to set on my debian woody install. They fail badly. Nonetheless, there is no problem at all with UTF or japanese locales, so it is a bit strange to me. I upgraded from potatoe to woody about 6 month ago, and i had such problems since that moment or soon after, as far as i remember. Here is some abstracts of locale-def output: Generating locales... en_US.ISO-8859-1...character map `ISO-8859-1' is not ASCII compatible, locale not ISO C compliant /usr/share/i18n/locales/iso14651_t1:70: `0' already defined in charmap /usr/share/i18n/locales/iso14651_t1:71: `1' already defined in charmap /usr/share/i18n/locales/iso14651_t1:72: `2' already defined in charmap /usr/share/i18n/locales/iso14651_t1:73: `3' already defined in charmap /usr/share/i18n/locales/iso14651_t1:74: `4' already defined in charmap /usr/share/i18n/locales/iso14651_t1:75: `5' already defined in charmap /usr/share/i18n/locales/iso14651_t1:76: `6' already defined in charmap /usr/share/i18n/locales/iso14651_t1:77: `7' already defined in charmap /usr/share/i18n/locales/iso14651_t1:78: `8' already defined in charmap /usr/share/i18n/locales/iso14651_t1:79: `9' already defined in charmap /usr/share/i18n/locales/iso14651_t1:81: `a' already defined in charmap [...]

I can only use C-locale of japanese locales (but i am not yet good enough in japanese to use it on a daily base). I have also some strange warning messages for inexistant mime-support-compat file when i apt-get upgrade things, some remaining ghosts of potatoe installation it seems, but i guess it is quite benign and probably unrelated. By the way, my hardware architecture is PowerPC if it matters. I hope someone will have some clues about a missing package or an incorrect setting that may cause this kind of annoyance. I was looking for a solution for a few months without success so far, so if noone has any idea, I guess it will be time for a reinstallation from scratch. Thank you for reading, anyway. mata ne -- luigi mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
