Helo List After my upgrade to sid, I had to re-generate my locales (de_DE-Iso8859-1) and set the LC_* environmet variables. That solved the "perl: locale unset" problem when using apt-get. Now, when I start any application under X from an xterm, I get an error message saying "Warning, locale not supportet by xlib, setting locale to C". Now, I have looked around, and found a locale.alias file in the X11R6/lib/ directory structure and added an alias to my german locale I created before. Any idea how to make X support german-speaking environment (like it did in good old potato times)?
The funny thing is, in gnome and gimp, I get a mixture between english and german messages and menu entries, e.g.the main menu in gimp speaks english, but the dialog boxes are shown in german, with missing Umlaut-characters.
