I have access to this box where linguas=fr is set. Check this output: $ type -a [ [ est une primitive du shell [ est /usr/bin/[ [ is a shell built-in becomes "est une primitive du shell" I can't see any use flags in coreutils/bash that informs me it will be emerged with the linguas support. How do I know which package will be localized then ? Just curious, I don't tweak my linguas. ----- Florian. / For security reasons, all text in this mail is double-rot13 encrypted. /
