Hi,
I also notice that coreutils is also missing stuff in
/usr/share/locale/en_GB, so apps like acroread and some firefox plugins
continuously repeat a message "expr: syntax error" and fail to open.
Forget it, there are no .mo files for en_GB because the English strings are
hard-coded into the binaries.
Only very few packages have en_GB translations, only if it would substantially
differ from the default strings, and a missing translation is not a bug.
The
problem with acroread was pointed out to me by a friend in the USA and I
got exactly the same here in the UK when I tried it - the expressions in
/usr/X11R6/bin/acroread look sane looking at "man expr".

This problem has nothing to do with missing .mo files either. It's a simple
shell scripting/quoting bug. Fix:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/rootlinux/rootlinux/ports/more/acroread/acroread-expr.patch
There is already a report this, so there is no need to report it in bugzilla.

Thanks, I shall grab that patch. I didn't search bugzilla for acroread
as I was experiencing failures in different progs, but nothing
applicable showed up.
Regards
Sid.
