since it came up again rather recently and i experienced it again yesterday and all occurences of the error were linked to people using the freerunner (according to google, that is) ...
i reported it as a bug to debian > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=524483 and it turns out to be caused by jiffs2, ie if the directory the locales resp the archive were to be created in lives in a jiffs2 filesystem, locale-gen fails. "jffs2 does not support mmap in write mode. This is not a bug of locales." so, whoever stumbles over that issue in future -- either modify locale-gen (it's a script) to call localedef with --no-archive or make the directory live in a filesystem not affected. i linked /usr/lib/loacle/ to a folder on the ext3 sd card. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
