  This is, of course, a problem nearly as serious as that about utmp.

 Not really.  This is an issue only with `unstable' (as far as I can
 tell from the discussion), and `unstable' means exactly
 that--everything might not work properly.

What has that to do with anything?

The only difference between the utmp and the locale problem is that the  
utmp problem hits everyone using libc5-compiled stuff on a system with  
libc6, whereas the locale problem hits only those people that also live  
outside the USA and actually use some locale settings.

Both problems are only in unstable, because both have the same reason:  
libc6 on-disk data structures differing from libc5 ones.

Yes, you can (at  least I'm having no trouble at all whenusing glibc
2.0.4-1 and locales 2.0.4-1). _Please_ try these packages before
reporting another bug on locales. I'm simply not seeing them.

These are not trivial problems to fix, and they'll still be around in

I wonder whether it's difficult to fix that. If I recall correctly most
of the locale code in libc5 is from glibc anyway.

 The locale errors are getting extremely annoying.  What is the most
 correct way to solve the problems.  unsetting LANG solves the problem,
 but I can't find where it is getting set in the first place.  That's
 not the most elegant solution anyway.

 My locale version is 2.0.4-1

 The error (from perl) is:

 perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
 perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
 LC_ALL = (unset),
 LANG = us
 are supported and installed on your system.
 perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale (C).

 Note: There are similar error from other programs (emacs, etc).  This
 becomes particularly annoying when installing new packages (which
 calls perl many times in a row).

 Please tell me how to solve this problem

Do you have libc6 and friends installed? That seems to be what causes this  
for me.

Yes i do, but uninstalling them is not a solution since clearly that
is where Debian is heading.

I need a different solution.  Can I uninstall locale?  I dont use any

I got that (with perl only) before I installed debian; it doesn't like
locale settings that other programs seem to get on with OK. Try removing the
LANG variable and it ought to work. Is whatever sets LANG (your .bashrc?)
something you copied off another system?

Well, I finally found where LANG was being set.  It is set in .sd.sh
(which is the setup script for StarOffice).  I removed it and problems
have disappeared (I dont know if I screwed up StarOffice of course :)
