I found it. It's a tiny script that just calls "locale-gen". I commented that
out and did the
aptitude reinstall locales
which now looked clean. Of course it left behind a bunch of unconfigured
packages.
Moreover, when I manually ran locale-gen, it failed again in the same way. I
even did a
aptitude reinstall belocs-locales-bin
to reinstall locales-gen, but this had the same sort of failure that "locales"
did orignally.
So did another package chosen for its short name: "lsb".
It appears I'll have to solve the mystery of "locale-gen". This reports a
number of errors, then
has a failure of sed(1). A typescript is attached.
Just in case: here's a quick checksum:
