Hello,

I tried to regenerate locales doing dpkg-reconfigure locales: no
effect.
Then I dpkg --purge and install of locales package: no effect.
I did a apt --reinstall install of libc6 package: no effect
I dont know exactly what I should do/try next. Any clues?
Have you checked your filesystem is in a good state? There is no need
to
reinstall or to regenerate locales, libc.mo is provided by the locales
packages directly, as your dpkg -S search shows. So if the file is
there
but can't be opened by the kernel, I would go for a kernel or a
filesystem issue.
Gosh, it was in fact due to a misconfiguration of localepurge on my
part.
It was set to keep fr_FR UTF8 but not fr, despite the advice on the dpkg
dialog.
It's quite unexpected though that half of the installed software had
still the fr.mo stuff and not the other (I would assume that
localepurge, on install, will take care of previously installed
packages), and I m not completely sure about the logic of not
automatically keeping the fr when you pick any of fr_FR/fr_BE/fr_etc if
it results on such inconsistent behavior.
Thanks for the input anyway,
Regards,
