* Richard Curnow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2002-06-17 13:27 (CEST)] Yes, yes, old thing, but I do reply this because I've been two months offline (due to relocation) and is a question that raises in the list many times.

FYI, and perhaps to improve a FAQ... I've had the very same problem, and the very same dirty-hack did solve it, but then I upgraded, and I thought that it wasn't nice to do that for every upgrade/update, so... I looked for the real problem that is written somewhere in the glibc-dev doc (IIRC). I haven't correctly installed the new locales debian package, as glibc 2.2 introduced some little changes there (AFAIK). I did it the right way and then I was unable to get the error back. -- ais GnuPG key: 0x5C4839A5 Registered LiNUX user #93375 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can't assign IP address 127.0.0.1 to the loopback adapter, because it is a reserved address for loopback devices (Microsoft Windows XP - P R O F E S S I O N A L)
