Curiously enough, I don't see the a bug report on that in the Debian BTS. Have you actually submitted one? For various reasons, Debian doesn't build any locales by default. On installation of the locales package, it gives you a list of locales to build. If you want one not on that list - I don't know if that has en_GB.iso8859-15 - then you'll have to add it by hand to /etc/locale.gen and run locale-gen as root. -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
