What blade means by a "proper" locale specification, and what base-config expects to find in $LANG, is something like "en_GB", "fr_CA" or "ja_JP". But dbootstrap doesn't know anything about territories and it just outputs "en", "fr" and "ja". This whole business is pretty much a mess. But I think we can find a way to make it work in woody, even if it isn't all that elegant. p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
