I wish I knew what I'd done to screw this up. This is the first time in
several recent Woody installations that it happened. Only thing I can
think of is selecting both ISO-8559-1 and UTF-8 at the same time.
BTW, whatever was wrong also gave this unruly behavior...
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LC_CTYPE = "",
LANG = "en_US"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
In any case, "dpkg-reconfigure locales", as suggested by Tatsuya
Kinoshita, did fix both of these issues. Now, I still have those same
empty values for LC_CTYPE and LC_ALL, but they don't seem to have any
adverse effect.
Thanks guys!
