However, when installing the trivial package in the first place it's important to make sure the relevant crucial dependencies are there. I didn't realise that the 2 things were linked! With regards to the answer you got below ... I am surprised that en-gb is considered the 'default' when american-english is also impossible to get rid of. American is the only language that is complete in any release whereas en-bg or en(uk) always lacks many thousands of strings! Much as i hate to admit it - i think american should be the default language. I agree with you and thought i would add more points to help you strengthen your argument. Good luck and regards from Tom :) > > That's an intriguing questions. It is of course not necessary to > install a language you don't use.
