Hi,
apparently, the locale problem is somewhat confusing.
First of all: I didn't install staroffice, but installed libc6 (without
-dev).
Locale works just fine (from what I can see):
bash$ locale
LANG=POSIX
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_ALL=
bash$ date "+ %A %B"
Monday June
bash$ export LANG=de_DE
bash$ locale
LANG=de_DE
LC_CTYPE="de_DE"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE"
LC_TIME="de_DE"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE"
LC_ALL=
bash$ date "+ %A %B"
Montag Juni
The only package that makes problems is perl.
ii perl 5.004-1 Larry Wall's [...]
Note: I had this version of perl working before installing to libc6
without any problems.
Now perl gives:
bash$ perl -v
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "de_DE"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
This is perl, version 5.004
[...]
So my assumption is:
perl uses some "unofficial" functions of libc5, which don't work for
libc6 any more. (maybe I'm wrong; this is more the way in M$ world, but
it seems logical).
Just some more infos the relevant packages on my system:
ii libc6 2.0.3-4 The GNU C library version 2 [...]
Package: locales
[...]
Version: 2.0.3-4
Replaces: localebin, wg15-locale
Depends: libc6
Conflicts: localebin, wg15-locale
Description: Locale data files and utilities.
[...]
There is a new version of libc6 (and assorted). I'll update the
packages, maybe it will solve the problem.
Ciao,
Martin
