Hi Pedro, Thank you for your prompt reply. I believed that I had given sufficient information. If you can suggest what I have omitted, I will gladly provide further details.
Best wishes, George Francis This is what I have already submitted:- Public bug reported: Binary package hint: evolution After installing English, UK language support, the year value in the birthday/anniversary date field of the contact manager becomes a 2 digit number. Trying to enter a birth-date/anniversary, e.g., 1938, is impossible, resulting in the error message, 'invalid date value'. It worked OK when I used the locale settings for Zurich.
